DIY: Custom License Plate LED Fabrication

YamahaR6 · 06-10-2010, 12:51 PM

Would heating the housing with a heat-gun help remove the housing lens? Or baking it in the oven?

Baking, would be the way to go.

Checking in with the OP to see if these bulbs have burnt yet.

Yes you can OR you can support our forum vendor Yourledshop. I bought mine from him and they are perfect! no burn out or anything. The 24 led surface leds are VERY reliable! After this license plate DIY install, I changed ALL MY LIGHTS to square SMD 24 led.

Would not think 24 of those would fit. Now I see why yours are blinding bright.

So the bulbs the SMD's that normally come in the kit for the lisence plate are just bulbs and not the panels? I didn't see on the site where to specify when you order. I only saw the SMD Panel menu option for the trunk lighting. So I only received 1 panel, and 4 smaller bulbs. I have no idea what goes where now.
