That picture looks a little high on White Balance.

Unless you put like 3 stripes in each door, you wont get that brightness.

Each LED has 3 dots in it so these are much brighter.
I also have a strip for the real number plate too.

I have tryed the single LED but not as good and they burn out after a few months

Thank you very much,

By the way, searching Ebay I found these. looks like they use blocks of 3 independent SMD LEDs instead of 3 combined into 1. and use more Wattage = more brightness.

any comment on that?
