Lightbulb My LED License Plate Are Too Bright?

Just put these guys in last night and wow they are bright lol I don't really want to attract that much attention from cops at night, especially working in nightlife I feel like I'm an open target after 2am. Am I just crazy or need to get used to them? I have read a few have put electric tape on first 2 rows of LED's. They shine the road behind me, I'm happy I went cheap and didn't get the MTEC ones because they are supposed to be even brighter. A lot of the newer cars are have LED's in the license plate, have any of you had this problem or have gotten pulled over because of them? The color is perfect and 100% updated better look just want to get my stuff in check. Thanks I apprecaite the feedback

I have the MTEC and don't feel they are any brighter than the new F10 or other brands (Lexus, Benze etc) that now run LED plate lights. My vehicle is white so maybe that helps diffuse the brightness.

It's fine. I have never heard of someone getting pulled over for plate lights being too bright, it's usually the opposite that gets pulled over.

Yes, if your getting pulled over its probably more to do with how you are driving vs the brightness of your lp lights.

I have the MTECs and they're so bright they aid my reverse lights when backing up at night. Love it!

I talked to a local cop yesterday and he said dont worry about and and im more used to it now after a few days, still think its bright but i'm sure it will be ok, but really happy with my MTEC angel eyes and next im doing LED interior lights in the new few weeks, she is slowing coming along nicely
