Default "Light out" and plate lights ?

Hi all,

Drove my crossfire at night and noticed that "light out" warning came on the dash.
After investigating every single bulb on the car I found that one of the plate illumination light bulbs is out. Do you think that would case "light out" to come on ?

I found that my license plate light lenses are cracked. These plug and play LED lights include the lenses, correct? I saw that they sell the lenses on Needswings but, thought this would be the way to go.


The link provided are the correct model number for our crossfires?
Is it the same as shown in VALK's photos?

Those are not the ones, Valks are the correct ones. The ones you show are too squarish. Note the difference.
I think they are a tad to bright, I still use the OEM ones and I do not over tighten the screws.
I found a good spot for them in the trunk to replace that dim light that is there. CLICK
I added a similar LED light to the footwells. CLICK

Thanks - I wasn't too sure, the Google picture looked right though.

Wow, awesome write ups! I do find the current lighting set up a bit too dark.
