Why would you want your license plate light up so bright? you want cops or traffic camera or anyone easily read your plate?

Yeah but still these are those who don't want to tamper with their stock wires and housing.

This is what mines look like but I had to install resistors and open the housing up.

Had a look at the ad... dang there's a lot of poser cars pictured. AMG C300, M135i, etc.

***end of thread jack***

Looks like a nice product. IMHO, though, I'd rather not have anything light up there. I think it detracts from the look of the car with the other lights on.
