Hey, I don't want pesky nighttime witnesses to get a clear look at my plates as I'm fleeing from the scene of the crime!

That's why I have red LED lights for my X-FIRE tag. Looks like the cars on fire while the exhaust moisture is burning off. Squirrel Crusher

Very nice! Funny I was looking for something like this today also. Thanks for sharing the part number. Are you using an inline voltage regulator or load resistors? Any flickering with these babies?

Looks like as soon as any water (rain) comes they will short out.. that's a big problem with these cheap LEDs...

Keep us informed, I don't think they'll last very long.

Okay, I will give them the rain test. It will be pretty consistant here until April.

If rain gets in around your tag light call a wrecker because your too deep in the creek these look like they have a coating over the board ,,,no flicker but the Bulb out Indicator is on .

Been running very similar ones for almost a year now and installed a set in Frank's at the Dragon last year, I think it is one of the best mods for these cars, it is very subtle, but IMHO very clean as well.....

Looks good Carter

I went ahead and ordered the inline load resistors that should cure the light...
