White license plate light and reverse light

JamesHKim87 · 03-30-2006, 04:26 PM

Does anyone know how to get your license plate light and reverse light to be white?

i thought they were white...

What do you mean? They are already white (incandescent).
Do you mean LED blue/white or xenon-effect?

JamesHKim87 · 03-30-2006, 06:45 PM

o yes yes, the xenon-effect...

You can get bulbs that just change the color

or make a LED version with a resistor.

Easiest to change bulbs.. i saw them at some ricer/import shop in san gabriel but they were 20 bux for the 2 bulbs under the license plate.

It's not a bad idea but is it that necessary?

So I guess it's not "cool" to have white (superwhite) reverse lights anymore. I still like em, has anyone changed them out by chance? I couldn't find the exact bulb specs in the manual, anyone know the exact wattage and/or bulb type? Thanks
