Re: license plate lights
Dumb question but the original bulb is still good, right?
Side note; I put a multi LED bulb in my license plate socket and loved how it looks. Really updated the rear of the car at night.

Re: license plate lights
Doesn't look bright enough to have done any good though. Looks like they'd get you pulled over by the cops, for bad lighting.

Re: license plate lights
Pics can't always show everything good. If they look good in person, go for it!

Re: license plate lights
The lights look good. Just wondering if the bottom lens is supposed to light up or not. It's blank in the pic. Definite improvement over the stock bulb.
Hope to see you at Performance World. Drop by the club booth.
If not...see you at the Friday night Timmy's meet.

Re: license plate lights

To answer your question, the bottom part of the lens has no bulb in it so no it doesn't light up, although on the iroc taillights the bulb is in the middle of the lens so it should light the whole thing up.
