The license light is the one I won't change. I don't want to make it easier for our boys in blue.

For some reason, mine are even brighter then the picture above... All I did is replaced both with stockers after one burned out. Now they are so bright I can study under there

Just wondering for the GS, how do you access the license plate lights? Do you go directly from underneath the trunk bar, or do you open up the trunk lid and go from behind that?

You have to open the trunk and go under the liner. It sucks

Brendan....look nice bro.

I changed mines a year ago....love it...matches well with all the other LEDs on my car.

As for bringing more attention to cops? Yah...I guess it does...to some degree. But I aint got nothing to hide or any reason to run....I just don't drive into areas where cops are overly zealous to meet their ticket quota.

which reminds me of a scene a while ago where i was driving on the freeway and another accord in front of me. his car is almost stock, but has the licence plate light (superwhite), where my car is so modded as you can see. i saw a cop zoom in, got cautious, and the cop proceed to pull that guy over. i wonder what that's for (we were both not speeding)

Good try, but superwhite bulbs for the license plates DON'T get you pulled over.

It could be that the tag number on the Accord was on the "lookout" list for the cop, and he happened to catch that

no i never said it's illegal, but it gives enough attention to the cops period, and that's the last thing i need
