:SHOCKED: Wow, you weren't kidding. I wonder when you'll get pulled for having bright white lights coming from the rear! Seems like we also get pulled if they're too dim, not in the right place, too bright, wrong color...

I shouldn't get pulled over. It is a white light, not a blue or red light which can be considered emergency vehicle colors. It does not shine directly at the driver behind me nor does it blind them. It may be distracting to some but it helps clearly show my plates.

Phew, I hope the police officers have that same mindset!

When I get home I'll post up what I purchased for my interior. It's almost as bright as the outside. If it's pitch black outside and you turn on the dome light, you won't expect it to be that bright but it is. If it gets dark enough outside I'll try to take some photos too.

Time to head back to work.

I have a question on how to install them. I'm thinking about getting those ones for my license plates but looking at the DIY for it, it doesn't look like the same build as LED's. Same as the map/doom which are fenstoon and the flanks looking nothing alike.
