Sylvania sells some cheap bright bulbs. I replaced mine and they are a whiter light but not too bright.

Escahoe I originally bought a boat load of the 120 degree standard leds from them and while it made a good difference in the plate lighting I have come to the conclusion that the 360 high power smd's are going to be so much better since light output is not directed just 120 degrees at the end. I would not suggest them unless I have done the engineering thinking behind it. When I have some extra cash I will change the out as well as the other leds I put in reading, front markers and doors. I believe the tri-wing ones will fit under the dash to light up the floor. Boy that will cost some dough. If I cant come up with a use for the 120's afterwards I will give them away here.

lol I am gonna be getting the rear bumper repainted next and picking up tail lights and tinting them, I don't like the yellowish color of the stock bulbs want to make it brighter to match the HID's I have in the headlights

LOL... OK Jonathan I know your a smart dude, with engineering experience but as a fellow Tech with my experience, I'm just not understanding this sentence.

I mean... their just plug-n-play lighting bulbs for a license plate.... he's not building a lighting system for a power grid.

Sorry I can never explain it clearly. I take all the specification data available of the parts and the application to ensure a proper fit and function while maintaining reliability with improvements and life expectancy worth the cost of the upgrade. Kind of a balancing act really.
