OK after reading this thread I would very much like to swap my liscence plate lights out for nice white LEDs

my question is, is this just a plug and play mod? how hard is this to do?

Thank you

 

Plug and play and very easy.

 

I have stage 2 DD leds all around. I love them...they definitely add a very nice touch. They're white, not hint of blue and it was a super easy install.

 

I have the same set!! Very nice

 

For the DD leds, is stage 2 referring to SMD2? I see the options of SMD1, SMD2, HP3, and HP5. I'm hoping for LEDs that are white with no ricer blue tint as well. I don't want it too bright where it over powers the led tail lights. The tail light are so nice and would hate the license plate bulbs to steal it's shine lol. Any recommendations? I was thinking DD cool white (6000k). SMD2 is out of stock, should I go SMD1?

I'm torn between these 2

Cool White often suggests a hint of blue ... but I have no experience with DD products. I get all my LED's from V-LED who offer 5000K (white) or 6000K (hint of blue) buying options and I always get 5000K.

 

lolz i just bought my entire set of trunk, door accents, dome lights, license plate lights all off ebay in one bundle for like 8$ with no problems still to this day

 

I dig my Diode Dynamics, got a full set for my car

 

Nice, that's a bit under half what I paid for mine. And mine were about half of one of the fancier kits.

 

Our lighting products are all measured in-house to provide accurate color temperatures and lumen output numbers. 6000K from us is actually 6000K, whereas most vendors are just using the 5000K/6000K numbers since they are common.

The HP3/HP5's cool white LEDs are very crisp white, with no cheap looking purplish-hue

Here's one of my favorite examples:

Nick, that's good to know, thanks for the info ... the color temperature described as "cool" typically introduces blue by most products in the lighting world, glad that yours doesn't.
