I want to upgrade my license plate dome bulbs to super white just like Lexus have done to their new IS, and GS models. I tried looking around for them but the bulbs in our car seems slightly bigger than the usual dome light bulbs.

I dont see them. They're site looks good but isnt user friendly. Bulbs and stuff are all over the place. too many different categories.

Eb, I bought mine on http://autolumination.com/festoon.htm. I got the festoon 39mm LED bulbs, looks pretty good just like the new IS's and GS's. Only draw back warning signs on idrive only at startup so I dont mind. If you wanna see some pics let me know I'll take some .
Ya post some pics... but I dont want the warnings... How annoying are the warnings? can you describe them?
I'm going to soder a resister on it before installing it Think that'll work?
gotta bust out the DMM and do some measurements...
