can anyone recommend some license plate LED that dont emit light to the street?

MangoConChile · 04-27-2011, 01:45 AM

im looking for a license plate led kit but most iv'e seen posted are blindingly bright and emit a ton of light to the concrete, which looks rather ghetto(to me anyway). im looking for something that's brighter than stock but not intensive. anyone have any recommendations? ive read some older posts of some users putting electrical tape over a row of leds to cut down on the output but i have yet to see any pics of how this looks. i cant really have it emitting light to the streets cuz it's illegal here and cops love giving out tickets.

thanks

just about any will work, but put electrical tape over them to reduce the amount of light as needed. Sounds janky, but it will never be seen, doesn't come off on washes, and you can easily control the brightness.
