are they waterproof?

these LED's are nice because you can aim the light directly at the plate instead of straight out or straight down towards the ground...

Re: License plate lights

In person that light is just really bright white. You can barely see any light when there are headlights behind me though.

Instead of fixing it (which in my opinion I did, cops opinion I didn't) I paid my traffic attorney $50 to fight the case... heh. Court July 9th

man that light really makes your plate look fuzzy... i would change that before you get pulled over....

hey do you realize hundreds of people see your plate a day...why do you hide it on the Internet...the off chance a person is going to travel a good distance to rob you is very unlikely....if it is going go to happen it will be someone near by.....soo why?



lol...it looks great glad you like it...

Re: License plate lights

I had those DEI Lite-N-Bolts from Summit and really liked them. They seemed to be quality steel and held up fine.
I guess you just have to install them correctly.
