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

 

Honda Fit Accessories - Genuine 2009-2013 Honda Fit Accessories Shipped at Discount Prices

 

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

 

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)

 

Best $15 dollars you'll ever spend....

I was thinking DIY A/C condenser front grill protector....

Having seen the pics....I will order some new lights for my plates. Wicked!

 

From College Hills Honda?

 

I think yours are brighter, mine look better

 

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

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Not sure which one I like better? both look great

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

no sure either.

 

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

 

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