Default WTB LED Plate Light!

Hey guys!

Does anyone know of a sponsor or.. cough NON SPONSOR cough...
That has LED bars/boards for the license plate light that plugs right in or is easy to install..

I bought a LED bulb but once I put it into the bulb housing it dims it down too much. I've heard that Brian has them but there wasn't enough info on them so I couldn't tell.

Thanks!

I eBay'd mine, its pretty bright, and I have them in all the corner markers too (they are tinted so still dim, I just don't want them going out randomly).

There is a site that has them specifically for our cars and it's a liquid sealed board with a plug and play end on it. I don't think you will ever find one as nice as that, let alone designed for our f-bodies.

Lol you guys are CRAZY! last thing i want is people to have a better view at my license plate at night.

I will admit it looks cool and with a vanity plate would be awesome. Any car with hids should have this to match.

Talk to Brian2006.

I have one blertawho made & it is still working after about a year. Every now & then I have to mess with the plug cause it'll wiggle loose, but it's a quick 2 second fix.

Yeah, about that. I've got better sockets and all that now, not that I'm making them to sell or anything. I think Chris ('96 Z28SS) and I might make a limited batch for the local crowd with the new design, but that will be after school starts back up. The SMD LEDs have a much better spread and fill the plate very cleanly. I just want to finalize the bracket, reflector, and maybe develop a housing for a little more protection and asthetics before I decide to pump a few of these out. It cost me about $10 to make that setup andget it the way it is now, so I'm happy.

Like everyone else said, talk to Brian he has good stuff.
