SMD panel LED - License plate, Map lights and trunk light (from Yourledshop)

It's probably okay for some owners but I like my trunk area to be fully lighted as I do shopping and use the trunk regularly. So, thanks to cliff, he sent this awesome SMD Bright White led for my car to try out. Check it out:


Not 1 or 2, 24 bright white led!




As you can see, it fires straight into the trunk area not the plastic end!




Perfect brightness!

The pictures may not show (because it's very hard to take picture of bright bulb at night) but this LED panel lights up the whole trunk. Also, unlike previous trunk led which illuminates straight(as some of you asked), this SMD LED puts out full output TOWARD the trunk as it sits flush with the clear plastic surface.

Here's a video:


P.S. I know my trunk is very dirty . I still have wood chips from the woods I bought for ramp extenders)

Conclusion: These bulbs illuminates the trunk area perfectly. If like your trunk fully light up, please don't forget to ask cliff when you place your led kit order. I like to give them 9.5 out of 10! Very happy with the whole led setup now!

Also, thanks to cliff from yourledshop for great price and quick shipping.

So, I finally finished all my led projects (at least I think). I already have the SMD LED in the trunk and I put the SMD in the license plate housing today. In the picture it may look too bright but since my paint (Monterey Blue) doesn't reflect light much (lets say compare to Pearl White), it's really not obnoxiously bright. It's just perfect IMO. I'm pretty happy with the install. It was a fun little project. Took me a little over 1 hour (wasted 10 minutes tried to bake the dam housing and that was FIAL ).

Here are some pictures:
















sorry guys, I know it looks exactly like the BEFORE picture. That's because camera compensates for the extra light . There's nothing I can do



If you own a darker color Z and you think your current leds aren't bright enough for your plates, here your solution.
