May I introduce you to the one member who is a credit to society, in particular the law enforcement agencies in his area. This member actually went through the difficulty and expense to get a custom translucent, back lit capable license plate. I believe that we can excuse this member's oversite of forgetting to purchase the correct illumination accessories.
Therefore please do not hesitate to provide your valuable expertise in helping to solve this important safety issue.
Thank you for your attention and help to this important mod.

Cappa, you need more than the proper LED bulbs, you need a load resistor or else you'll get a "bulb out" warning on your mfd.

yeah i know that, but isnt that a small area to fit a load resistor. plus the heat generated from the load resistor may cause damage.
to each his own..........

Hyper-White & LED License Plate Lights thread
I noticed a lot of the new lexus's license plate lamps seem to be a blue/white light....(back plate) it looks darn gorgeous on light colored cars (silvers, whites, etc)... and I was curious if anyone else here noticed?
I'd like to replace my license plate lamps to be this color actually.... it looks stellar... I wonder if it is standard on new lexus vehicles or if I just happen to be seeing a bunch of cars that have been modded (seems unlikely)...
Many thanks folks!

Its funny you mention that because I did notice that the lights are like that. I thought I was seeing things!
They are kind of like the "hyper-white" aftermarket bulbs.

I noticed it on the new GS and I thought the dude just put them on, but after seeing them on quite a few cars, I figured it was standard. I like it a lot!

I think they were like 20 bucks but damn worth it. I saw these lights on a white Lexus GS too. I ran to the store the next morning. I cant say im not happy ! I love Bright lights !. I got the Xenon and Black lights inside my car too. The Interior Lights are Hyper White/Blue and the Center front and back Dome Lights are Black Lights. At night i can see Glowing Teeths haha and lint.

All the new Lexus vehicles will use LEDs where halogen lamps used to be. Currently the new GS and IS have them on the rear plate. The GS at night as I think 12 LED bulbs in the interior, it looks stellar
