Default WTB: License Plate Bulb Housing(s)

MODS please close this thread. I was able to find me one.

Hey gang,

I'm looking for the housing where the license plate bulb fits in on the trunk lid. One of mine is cloudy looking and alters my light output of my LED bulb.

i did have a handful of them actually but 2 i tried to open to do my own board style LED's in them which didnt turn out so well....these things dont wanna be opened and the others the clarity wasnt all that great. i bought those new ones and i still want different ones. eventually i will end up with the same one 1swtgs has and try them out

happy hunting....

john....iswtgs actually bought a set from jsz international i think and it burned out....he may have opened his (although i dont recall that) then he bought a set from ebay for like $75 if i recall, which compared to my JDM alteeza ones which were a $100 is a steal


im just gonna PM him and ask him to post in here....

I paid $75 + shipping. @ http://www.eliteautostyle.com/products/lighting.htm couple off month later I notice the lights was blinking off and on with the stereo sounds. I think the rattle of the bass weaken the soldering joint.I did opened it up with a razor blade and solder it back and reseal them with crazy glue.and it still working today.I found some 2nd generation one for 1/2 of the price what it paid for $40 shipped on ebay 6 month ago so I bought exra set for back up now they are $45 shipped http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEXUS-GS300-...sories&vxp=mtr the diffrence from the first one has clear housing and the 2md gen has frosted clear housing.video of them them lightning up
