I did the same but not with products from DCT. My entire car (except brake lights) has been converted to LED. Even the rear sidemarkers and glove box. Reseaching a good solution for brake light bulbs.

I'm sorry, but what is the rationale behind making you license plate a beacon for everyone to see????

make the car look cool is a good answer, there is no rational reason for cosmetic modification! Just like BRABUS doing this!!! it just looks cool for people like it!



with our LED license plate light, your car will look like this in the night!

Thanks Ard, I was afraid I was the only one wondering that. Legends car looks great with or without IMO.
