Default LED license plate lights????

Does anyone have?
Is it the 194 number?
I want the super bright white/blue that shines on the tag?
Does anyone have any pics?
Where did you get them? price?
I know they should be like only $2 for 2(autozone) of them or even CHEAPER?

What number for the side markers?

These are the 194's for the license plate lights that shine on the tag....

you dont want to use those bulbs, for one they are very dim and they do not have a resistor built in and if you know anything about LED's they cant handle more than about 5 volts

Are there some BIGGER blubs or some brighter/bluer lights that you can use for license plate lights?
Trying to stay away from the reg blue tint lights...becuase I know they will get you pulled over eventually!!!!

I would look into getting the PIAA regular wedge bulbs. They have the regular hyperwhite look that you are looking for. I have had them for three years now and have never ben pulled over because of them. They also make many diferent colors as well as LED's that have 4 LED's in them for that really bright look. I have not heard any good or bad about the LED's so if you decide to buy them please tell me how they work out.

On my old custom astro, I once took out the headlights.. (it had a billet grille covering the headlights, which are $10 for the whole damn headlight).. Went to Wal-mart, bought 2 new ones and coated them with dark blue engine enamel..

Could not see ____. But it looked mean at night with only 2 dark dark blue lights driving around.. I was a complete idiot and had no idea that was illegal, town police never once pulled me over.. But one night, a friend and I went cruising a few towns north of here and I got a $105 ticket for them.. hehe.. People do some stupid ____ at 16 yrs old

Skip the license plate lights and get the LED license plate fasteners
