Still looking for bright, white LEDs that will fit into standard license plate holes in the front bumper. I need to find some that are water-proof.

All you need is 2 x T10 with the LED's of your choice as the number plate light
is weather proof .
I am already running 2 T10's with 4 Flux LED's on each. works and looks great,

I'm not talking about the light for the rear plate in that post. My dealer drlled holes for the front plates even though I told them not to. Now I have two holes on my front bumper. The holes are thr standard size for license plate screws here in the US. I want to put a white LED in each hole and wire them to the paking lights.

there are some t10 water proof ones around , i will take a photo for you if you like. have about 4 prs sitting in the workshop

So T10 sized LEDs are the same size as standard license plate mounting holes in the US?

battleversiontc · 10-31-2008, 07:51 PM

arent the holes like a 1/4 inch or so

battleversiontc · 10-31-2008, 07:54 PM

maybe a 5mm led try measure the holes and go measure a 5mm led to see or a 10mm led at like radio shack if its one of those oznium.com sells them pre wired

Been googling screw sizes for license plates and it looks like American cars use 1/4" screws and I've been seeing 6mm and 6.3mm for Japanese (Toyota, Nissan, etc.) cars.

Guys, the 48 LED board will NOT fit into the trunk area!!! Check my orignal post.

There is only 2cm x 4.5 cm worth of space. I cut a cardboard template of each light board before I ordered, based on the specs supplied form VLEDS. The 30 LED board is rectangular and will fit the trunk light housing. The 48LED is square and impossible to fit. The 48 LED board fits perfectly into the cabin light area, which has excess space to spare with a 7.5cm x 4.5 cm housing (approximately).

Some late night photography! Sorry for my crappy night pics... no tripod. Picures can only show so much. These lights really brighten up the cabin. I can actually see the floor and back seat area, with no shadows or ugly yellow. The white color is consistent with amongst all VLED lights, for all cabin, map, and trunk lighting.

Interior map (2 x 11 LED 194 bulbs) and cabin (1 x 48 LED board)...

Meteorite_Marty · 11-01-2008, 10:50 PM

More pics of the trunk using the 30 LED board. No more ugly, dim, warm white/yellow incandescent bulbs!!!

I think you should try the coupon code yourself..

Meteorite_Marty · 11-05-2008, 06:33 PM

I think NISSANCLUB works for the coupon code. It is for $5 off.

Yes, the 48 LED board fits into the DOME light (that is the one that goes off and on with the door opening). Naturally the board doesn't fit into the bracket where the festoon was. You have to run the dummy-festoon and wiring to the power clips, then mount the LED board somewhere in the plastic housing of the dome light.

All the coupons I've found (including the above NISSANCLUB one) are 10% off.
