Here's my new LED number plate mod. What do you think? I just used a cheap LED strip from ebay.

Not bad, but I prefer the License Plate LED's I did on my car. I don't think I'd want an entire strip of LED's across the rear.

No fault message. I used the same resistors inside the bulb holders that I used before for the normal LED number plate bulb mod, exept one bulb holder only has a resistor in and the other bulb holder has a reistor and is wired to the LED strip. The strip is only 1cm in width and fits perfectly behind the boot handle and bulb holders.

Looks neat -- I wonder how it would look with another strip across the bottom?
It would look better
