this place is good.LED Lights, Bulbs & Accessories - SUPER BRIGHT LEDS. i changed most of my 09 touring with them. you could get others on ebay probably cheaper but ive not had one fail in over 2-1/2 years. just don't use the robber lurking around here.

I am running cool blue LEDs in my '11 Pilot and purchased them from SuperbrightLEDs.com I would probably recommend them, although I did have an issue with the license place LEDs being almost too large to fit in the small housings. Had to grind the edges of the LED down to make it fit. It's been working fine for almost a year though, and they are crazy BRIGHT!


Here is a link to what I'm running in my license plate housings, you can see why I said they are big!

I have leds from Diode Dynamics and can't complain. The bulb I'm using fits perfectly and provides good output at night.

I am. I purchased them from vleds.com. I got the HID/DRL module as well so the "check drl system" wouldn't come on. The module makes the DRLs brighter as well which is a plus. I'm not big on the DRLs and which we could turn them off so liked how the LEDs look as the color is what I was hoping for.

Here's my experience with LED wedge bulbs for license plates....

Warm white (3500k-4000k) - looks no different than a regular clear bulb
Natural/Neutral white (5000k) - best white color from a distance, looks almost a hint of green up close
Cool white (6000k) - best white color up close, but looks blue from a distance


I used to use the cool white bulbs in my cars, but I realized that they're too blue looking when you're at a distance, like in a car following behind you. If I used the natural white 5000k bulbs, they look more "white" looking from a distance.

The 5000k are the best color IMO as well. Mine don't look green up close but do have the bright white color and far from blue which I didn't want.
