well i got some led's to replace the burntout gauge lights i have (finally  ) and i bought 2 settes of 10 so i have a few spares so i just got thinking about how cool they would look in the license plate lights so i put some in and it looks hella sick. but im pretty sure i will get pulled over alot so i thought id get your guys opinions. o and honestly u can read the plate better now befor you could only read the first and last 2 letters

I highlighted blue the license plate requirement.
And for those of us with clear (or smoked) side markers, read the first paragraph, I think we're OK with the display color

Cops are pissed if your license plate lights are anything but yellow/white. I threw a bunch of white LEDs in my license plate lights.

| Yellow/White = Warm White, as opposed to natural (pure white) or cool (blue) whites. |

Where are you getting the LED's from, and what kinda customer service you getting?
Been thinking about doing some of this myself. The truck seems to love blowing bulbs. |

If you have bulbs failing often you have a problem!
Superbrightleds.com is a great place.
