I was just wondering if anyone has attempted to do this cosmetic upgrade yet. On my way home tonight, i spotted what appeared to be a 2006 Lexus GS 300 with a bad *** hid license plate light. It matched the headlight output color perfectly, and it just made me wonder. Has anyone else seen the car I'm talking about? I'm sure there are more makes and models with the same plate light, but the lexus is the only one i've seen so far.

 

seems kinda pointless to me

same here!

 

then dont do it. anyone else?

 

it wasnt just a colored bulb that looked like it matched the headlights?

 

Look at me look at me I spent $200+ to light up my license plate better.... GHEY!!!

 

ive seen the new GS have a bright light also for their license plate. it's probably LEDs. 100% not HIDs

 

The thing he is talkin about is actually 2 fluorescent bulbs. They are whiter than normal lights. Kinda like the lights that are in your garage. And they make it look pretty pimp IMO

 

They are just led bulbs, I think that are bright white

 

i bet i can rig a mini shoplight bulb and make it look oem.

 

I bet Finger F**k terror would be dumb enough to pay $200+ for a light when you can DIY for $10. If you know your electrical.

then why ask about it...go do it and take some pics

 

I put amber bulbs in mine and tinted the little plastic covers and I have a tinted plate cover on. haha, why would you want people to see your plate? I love how the LED taillights look though, I wish I had the skills to make them.

 

i would love to make it easier for people and police to read my plate.....

 

Its not a HID light its a 5w Superflux LED setup.

 

like everyone said, its LED not HID, If it was HID It would be extremely expensive and a pain cuz you're gonna have a ballast n all that equipment in your rear bumper. ANd when you get rear ended, have fun!

 

My dad has a 2006 GS430, its an LED. That car is full of them. There are even little led's in the door handles on the inside of the car, and in the footwells for the front passengers, and under the seats for the rear passengers.
Its a pretty nice car though. Far better than his 2003 GS300.

X100

 

They're WHITE LED. get them on ebay.

why not keep it OEM, stock halogen bulbs are fine.

 

its a pure white led light bulb---try to look for some at your local electric shop

 

yea i saw those lexus gs's ur talking about im thinking they're just hyper white led's
