hoen C5W (license plate white bulbs)

Do these license plate bulbs fit on our car? I have a 08e350 and heard that the license plate bulb is 39mm, Hoens are 36mm. Just wondering if anyone got them, how they like it, how the look and if they last long?

Or better recommendations?

I tried the Hoen license plate bulbs.... Part #6418, honestly they really dont look any different. I went with the LED's.. Look AMAZING!! Just like the new Lexus....If your interested, i have the Hoen bulbs if u want them....

u need resistors to use the LED lights. I dont want to mess with those, unless u can buy LED with built in resistors.

Funny, as I was exiting the freeway last night I saw the new Lexus and DUG the way the license was lit and wondered... huh wonder if I could do that...

So what bulbs do we need?

interesting, many people have said the Hoen C5W bulbs make a difference. Yes, LEDs look nicer, but many people have had problems with them. The car shuts them off without resistors. Resistors are out of my knowledge on how to install them.

Will these work? These are 10 watt, not sure if it is too hot for the housing for the license plate. http://www.eautoworks.com/html/ORD-1-1-1-2067.cfm
