Best $15 you'll ever spend...
 
I've tried it all, in search of a bright, but small LED for the license plate area, from $3-$25 a bulb. It's tough to find something that fits in the small cover, but still puts off light...even more truly white light.

These are the best I've tried:

194 LED Bulb - 1 SMD LED Wedge Base | Miniature Wedge Base LEDs | LED Car Bulbs | Super Bright LEDs

i also replaced the stock license bulb with LED's! love them!

lowkeymods Sep 17, 2012 08:46 PM

Perhaps I stand corrected :)

I still think these put off just the right amount/with the right color.

lol I use mine to help me see when im reversing...these also help on late night convoys (everyone can see VTEC-YO from 100 or so feet away) :D

Because theyre dimmer?:confused:....the CH leds put out lots of white light. IDK I like my Fit visible at night to all these sleepy truckers in MO. :D

lowkeymods Sep 17, 2012 09:39 PM

Nah yours are def brighter and in that sense better, but I feel like mine look a little more OEMish given the fact that they're not ultra bright. Doesn't matter: you're happy, I'm happy, and you don't get run over in MO :)

Edit: My latest "mods" have actually been bent on making the car more subtle, that's why they're better for me.

krunk13 Sep 17, 2012 09:46 PM

Yeah i guess i wouldn't want to attract attention to myself in Baltimore.:cool:

lowkeymods Sep 17, 2012 09:59 PM

Ha!!! Yeah, people already try to buy drugs from me given my gold wheels :rotfl:

krunk13 Sep 17, 2012 10:03 PM

lol high gas prices effect everyone including drug dealers....plus the fit has that secret stash compartment:rotfl:

:rotfl: Not sure which one I like better? both look great

Dwalbert320 Sep 18, 2012 09:38 AM

I'll get one of each and make both^^^happy :)

kenchan Sep 18, 2012 10:58 AM

hummmm.... best $15 i will ever spend, huh?

Schoat333 Sep 18, 2012 11:08 AM

I don't get it. Why do you want your license plate lights to be brighter?

kenchan Sep 18, 2012 12:28 PM

no sure either.

lowkeymods Sep 18, 2012 03:25 PM

To me it's not so much about how bright I can get it, but how to keep it from looking so yellow and old-fashioned

kenchan Sep 18, 2012 03:42 PM

it does look a lot sharper for sure. not a typical boring 194 filament bulb.
