Any threads on here for replacing license plate bulbs?

Is there another thread on here for DIY of these bulbs and also, this may sound dumb coming from a newbie, but are these street legal? I'd hate to waste the money and then be pulled over for it.

I tried few various LED bulbs for the LP light and eveyone just gave a limited spot of light due to the light only using a single bulb and the nature of LED bulbs..... just like in the pic in your link.

So, I finally settled on a "hyper white" incandesent bulb which gives a a more even light accross the licenses plate (and keeps the cops away).

My all time favorate is the "Polarg (Type 168, 194) Super White Mini Wedge Bulb M4". Do a search (Google, ebay, etc) for "Polarg M4".
They are a bit expensive but, they seem to last forever.. .... at least for 2-3 years or more and give a bright, white light.
I had a pair of them in my Celica's LP and they lasted over 4 years using them 45 minutes nightly on weekdays commuting from work.

BTW, I also use them in my front parking lights.
