Has anyone done this? I saw someone today who had it.... looked sick! Pros/Cons
I don't care if it makes my plate more visible, I'm not trying to run from the cops...

I dont think its legal. just like wiper leds arent and neither are tire valve cap leds. Don't let the holiday season lead you into thinking you need to add decoration to your car, you dont.

it just makes you more noticeable to cops. Same as hid's. You may not be running from them, but bright lights catch their eyes and they'll look for something to pull you for, in VB atleast.

Re: LED license plate bulbs
Aim and shroud the LEDs properly and it should work well. Aim and shroud them improperly and it will attract a lot of negative attention. LEDs are perfect for this type of application, but only if done properly. There is a reason they're used to backlight LCD displays..
For the record though, the dispersion pattern on those LEDs looks like shit, but that's because the license plate lighting wasn't designed for LEDs, and those LED bulb replacements aren't designed properly either. You should be able to find better products that do the same thing; there are LED cluster replacements for most of the common accessory bulb sizes and many of them have very good dispersion patterns. Keep looking.
