LED's in car. (License plate and dome)

XenoGears · 09-12-2009, 08:32 PM

I want LED's in my car. I want to take out that ugly yellow license plate light out and stick in a brite white LED light. I went to Auto Zone and Kragen (Kragen sucks in my opinion) and they didn't have anything. But I found them on Ebay.

Has anybody bought these lights on Ebay and installed them into their car?
Do you know if I can find a LED for my license plate light somewhere else?

I want LED's in my dome light also.

Has anybody installed them into their car?
What size light and where did you buy them?
Did it take a long time to install?

I bought the dome and license plate LED's via Ebay. I'll let you guys know how the install and how they look goes.

I like the dome light Idea for brighter lights inside the car when needed but when you say license plate do you mean a led license plate frame?
I personally don't like led frames.....I think their kinda ricey to me. But if that's what you meant please don't take offense, it's just my opinion.
Like I said though, great Idea for a dome light.

No it's fine. I bought a LED license light. Not a LED license plate I'm talking about removing the regular yellow light thats above the license plate and putting a LED in.

Wow autozone may have one use full thing rather then oil.. ?

sfkjeld · 09-24-2009, 05:19 AM

lol. This seems like a great idea, if you want to enhance your chances of receiving a speeding ticket in camera controlled speed zones.

I think my license plate is the last place I would put an LED.

XenoGears · 10-02-2009, 03:01 PM

So I finally installed my LED lights in my dome and license plate area. I'll have pics up later on today or this week.

XenoGears · 10-07-2009, 09:03 PM

So I installed my dome lights. Only probalem is that they are not white. They are blue. Blue LEDS in my Suzuka Blue S. Ugh.

Ignore those yellow lights. House lights. They are bright. I wish I had bought white lights. Crap. Ima hafta spend more $ for white lights!
Cons: They actually flicker on and off a wee bit if I have one light on.

I used LED board lights in all of the mentioned locations. The same module works for all as it comes with adapters. Lighting is very even and the coverage is excellent.

Got mine from http://nigel-jdmparts.com/LED.html but there are plenty of suppliers that carry these.
