License Plate Light?

ChrisK · 11-12-2007, 08:07 AM

Since we are starving for a discussion...

Does anyone know if the license plate lights are LED or not?

C_Topher · 11-12-2007, 09:11 AM

OK, I give....why do you ask?

ChrisK · 11-12-2007, 09:45 AM

I like the way the LEDs look on my wife's Lexus. I was hoping the 1er will come with LEDs instead of incandescent bulbs.

^^^^ That doesn't look "ricey" to you guys? I think I'd rather prefer a more natural light as opposed to blue, especially on a AW car.

Not at all. Do xenon headlights look ricey to you? The LED's burn brighter and whiter, and look far more modern and up-to-date than the older looking halogen ouput lights.

Nope. This is the wave of the future. I think the camera may have captured that color wrong. See this:

Whatever the license plate light may be, I want to end up tinting my headlamps so they look like this:

Sick.

What do you guys think?

Imprezin · 11-12-2007, 02:27 PM

i like the led lights alot.. but i dont like it also because now everyone can see your plate number from a mile away..

Can't help you with that. :eyebulge:

ChrisK · 11-12-2007, 02:34 PM

If you drove around Chicago with that yellow beaming, you would most likely get an officer friendly tune-up

Why would you tint headlights?

HID headlights put more light on the road than halogen. Why filter it to less lumens out?

Funny: ricers use blue bulbs to get the HID look, and folks with HID headlights use yellow tint to get the halogen look.
