Thumbs up Tail Lamp and License Plate Light Upgrade
I just upgraded my rear tail lamp and license plate lights.

Tail Lamps are Depo (Insurance)
Licence Plate Lights are 18 SMD per... total 36 SMD

Thanks man. I bought some 4 SMD to put in mine, but these replace that whole small housing in there and mine is DIRRTTYYYYY, lol, plus 18 SMD's will be amazing.

Yeah LED tails and putting LED lights anywhere on the car really updates the look.

I just checked out the ebay link. I swear I have seen that pic of the GS somewhere on the forum, and that wasn't the license plate lights, it was a LED light from the back-up camera IIRC....

They light up the plate well, I might get them.

OP, do the license plate LEDs get hot after a while ?
