LED License plate frame, Need help!

Hey everyone, I bought a LED license plate at Auto Zone today, and well they told me it was easy to install, I get home and tried connecting the cables to the cables of the license plate light, and its just not working for me, anyone knows on how to do this, or give me an idea? In the light there is a light blue cable and a white one. I have a Yaris 2010 HB 3d. I would appreciate any help.

The license plate light should have a green wire and a white with a black stripe wire. Green is + and white/black is -.

Hmm, it was a little dark outside, but I was sure it was blue...Well blue or green those should be the + then? and the white is the -? Now my question is the LED instructions say that the black - is a ground wire, do I have to connect that to the white one? Or what? And do you think that light has enough voltage for the frame, the fram needs 12v. Thanks for the help.

I'd think it look pretty cool, but the cops here would have a hippy fit if they saw a LED frame, haha.... :p

The feed is 12V, so it should be fine. Green (or blue) to red an white/black to black.

Well is all working and mounted, I know you guys want pics but I have to wait until the sun goes down cause you cant see it well in daylight. Ill take some pics tonight and post them! Thanks so much for the help.

the good thing about it is that it goes under the license plate so it doesn't cover the plate at all, which some cops are a**h**** about that.

Now to the next mod!
