Lights look good

Would you mind posting better pics of those license plate lights. I've been in the market for some but waiting for others to trial and error. I have some in mind but I would like to see better pics of yours and some specs please, thanks!

E500 sports pack with AMG kit
I just got the fogs done of mine with 8K... needed 9006 for them being that the car came with the amg kit. Looks nice... now i might wanna upgrade the headlights to 10k to match...

I am however getting the error code.. just gotta put in a capacitor...

I really wanna do the trunk led and parking led... but need some detailed instructions for those... really not that smart when it come to wiring all that stuff lol
