Why do you want your license plate to be brighter?

1) It's not exactly a 'style element' of the car.
2) If I'm ever operating my vehicle outside of exact 'legal' procedures (yes, it happens) I like to minimize the chance of some good citizen calling in my plate. (Same reason I don't like vanity plates -- too easy to remember).

Good Find!

There is the question of why you would want to advertise your plate number. Last night I followed a new Lexus with a brightly lit plate and then came upon a new M5 with a diffusing lens over the plate that made it unreadable. Different strokes for different folks. I am not sure that the Highway Patrol would endorse the diffusing lens. Between Red Light cameras and Tollway booths there is sure to be a law against this.

Gator Bite,

Nice bulbs, I do like the color with cobalt, but not very bright.
