How-To: LED Interior / Reverse / Licence plate lights

[skylar2ups]

I couldn't determine which bulb was for the license plate?

I've read that switching the reverse lights to LED actually makes it harder to see.

Alls I know is, I seen a white BMW M3 coupe with led license plate lights and it looked gorgeous!

You really can't go wrong with LEDs on the license plate...

You're right, so what bulb is it in the license plate?

Easy install.

Pics of the install.

Does anyone know where to get a replacement clip???? Only issue I had, make sure you pry the center out first... (ohsnap!)
Will add more pics once it gets dark.

Why did you need to remove those clips?

I think any CarZone/AutoQuest type place would have them.

 

[skubidoobie]

Why did you need to remove those clips?

Then, remove the kick panel, there's the snap in "screw" thingy, which is easily removed with a flat head screw driver, just pry it in there and pull it out

In order to get the glove box to drop.

 

[DaleNixon]

Oh, right. I've never removed all that... I just rip the glove box out.

And now I know lol.
EDIT: Heres the pics!

Blurry as hell interior from behind lol.

Hatch.

Sorry for blurry pics, my camera takes forever at night so you have to hold it still for a long time, not my forte.

anyone know how big the hole for the map light is??? i want to se if these can fit in

 

[skubidoobie]

That probably will fit, if you want to get blinded.

 

[dkswim]

it will just barely fit

 

[DaleNixon]

Post pics if you put those suckers in. I want my car to be bright enough to perform surgery in.

dang skubi, your lp lights are blue? or is that just the picture? I wanted blue but the fuzz round here won't like it. This is mine with the "cool white" color from superbrightleds.com:

Mine are cool white as well, they do have a really blue tint to them.

it must have been the angle, cus mine is in the pic above and its got a bluish look to it also, just not as blue as yours. Maybe its how we each have our cameras adjusted. But yours looks great either way.

 

[skubidoobie]

My camera is very flakey at night......

ordered!

i went ahead and got both blue and white for the dome/map/glovebox/cargo since i was undecided.

im gonna go for blue first, but if it looks to ghetto / rice ill go white.

or maybe ill go blue for trunk and glove only.

who knows! ill eventually post pix

thx for the write up OP
