I tilted the LED so that it inclinds to face the license plate

I just double checked my bulb how it faces down or toward the plate. The housing that holds resistor and bulb, it does have a small square black tab, should I remove that so it shines more to the plate, instead of blocking the light? For now, it shines downward, instead of reflecting off the plate.

Here's a pic of my LED lic plate light. Another way is just take the lic plate light out and turn on your parking lights and just adjust the led that way.

Make sure you get the 50 ohm 10 watt one

50 ohm 10w (DO NOT BUY A WRONG ONE, I tried a 100ohm before and it burned my fuse)

check out the following link, the picture is wrong tho, it should say 50 ohm 10W on the resister

http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.js...rentPage=search

I'm in Canada and the Radio Shack doesn't carry resistors in the above spec. I've found some 10w resistors with 1, 10, 100, 1000 ohm. Will those work? What does the "ohm" mean?

Here are the resistors I've found: http://www.thesourcecc.com/estore/Category...num=2&cpid=
