Default Best tag leds for Lexus look?

What leds look the most like Lexus tag lights? Where do you get them? I've read about some that burn out or flicker.

Actually if you get the flank style - WLED-xHP6 Wedge Base Bulb
http://superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/s...gi?product=CAR

you will like it better - it shines down, rather than outward

it really just depends on what color tC you have. ive tried quite a few LED's for license plate lights to get that Lexus look and all came out blueish, even the ones that say "white" since i have a dark colored tC. Ive come across these bulbs that are by far the "whitest" ive come across and pretty bright too....



new bulb vs stock


both installed

I already sell that a bulb with that 1w chip. It is in a better package size wise, with a robust cnc'ed heatsink and I sell it for 1/2 superbrights price with cheaper, faster priority mail shipping Plus I am a scion owner and would appreciate your business!

And yes, they do look WICKED over the licence plate! I get asked consistantly were I got them from while cruising around in the XD. They actually not only illuminate the plate amazingly well, they also cast a sweet halo of pure white light on the ground!

Give them a shot, I guarantee they ROCK!

Plug and play. The versions I sell are polarized, that means if you install them and they do not light, take them out and flip them over. I had them built this way to reduce parts count and insure maximum reliability.

We sell the LED pads at my work from putco mfg.
Each pad has 12 LED's on it.( total of 24 on the plate )
They are by far the best looking ones iv'e seen.
I have got them on several cars right now.
I have them all around my car even the dome lights

Guys, take a look at my post. I GUARANTEE you will love the bulbs I sell, or send them back for a refund on the bulbs minus shipping, no questions asked. You cannot get a better guarantee than that!
