What a shitty car.

 

I notice the latest model lexus have this allready.Looks okey, i will rock it..

 

This is the info and such I'm looking for. Basically I want to illuminate the plate like a Lexus, not the ground like a ricer.

Flite, do you have suggestions for applications for our housing and such?

I was thinking about the first or fourth from the top.

 

The most important part of the entire project is to make sure the bulbs are aimed correctly. If you have light bulbs that illuminate the plate with the side of the bulb, LEDs are not going to work unless the light disperses in the same direction. So take a long look at the stock bulbs and how they mount and aim before you pick out LED replacements for them. Honestly you might get better results from modifying the entire light housing instead of using a drop in replacement LED cluster. For example, a single row of 5 or 6 LEDs (with a somewhat wide viewing angle) along the edges of the plate would give much more even light than a pair of clusters in the stock locations. I'm assuming that's probably what the Lexus has, although I haven't seen it. If you have one LED, and it's a fairly narrow viewing angle, adding more in a cluster isn't going to give you better dispersion, it will only give you more light in a similar narrow viewing angle. Think about the directions light radiates from a bulb versus the directions light radiates from an LED, that's the whole point here.

Designing with LEDs is very different than regular bulbs though. I've done a lot of LED projects.. Oh, one cool trick is to put yellow and white LEDs next to each other, which will give a nice natural light (assuming you can't directly see the LED itself from the regular viewing direction).

I guess this all comes down to whether you want cheap and easy or time consuming and functional.

 

It's not fun if I don't curse it into the ground... time consuming and functional it is!

 

Looks pretty sick bro.
