#LED License Plate Lights vs Incandescent

21 Jan 2018

Some of you may remember the LED license plate lights that I installed in the #Focus in 2016, of which can be found here. This review is on a 2006 Cadillac CTS, a friend’s daily driver.

This is the start to a full LED conversion that is planned for the CTS. The lights are 6,000K ultra white, and are also a good bit brighter than the stock oem incandescent bulbs all while taking up one fifth of the wattage.

If you have a CTS, or are interested in LED conversions in general, stay tuned for more upgrades The full LED conversion for my own daily driver 2009 Ford #Focus can be found here.

Like anyone could read it without being blinded by the stadium lights collection that is your car

Every time I hear the world incandescent

I don’t actually know what that is from.

Lumens everywhere! What about trying to put LEDs on the door sill light?

I don’t have a door sill light on the Focus. He does, and I already have bulbs ordered for it.

Nothing makea a car look instantly newer than modern lighting (though I’m loving the Amber accents lights all over my LS 430 but that is a product of it’s generation)

Newer cars with incandescents though… easiest and best visual mod

It’s true, it can easily make a ten year old vehicle look only a few years old. However, my other older vehicles don’t get LEDs as bright white doesn’t suit them.

Gonna have to agree there. I wouldn’t be able to replace the amber lights from like a CVPI to switch backs LEDs or something like that, because the headlight configuration of it is so iconic. first thing you always see on a Crown Vic are their amber lights, and that I wouldn’t change ever.
