If you leave your lights on auto, it will pop-up an error upon start up but clears immediately
Simply push and slide out your existing license plate housing and replace the bulb with the LED
Let me know if you guys have any other Qs

These are 2x brighter that than the OEM LEDs since each festoon has 2 High-Powered LEDs with 6 chips per LED
