So, I got tired of spending time and $$$ on LED bulbs from various sites/vendors to replace my License Plate bulbs. I decided to try something different from the guys at PYSpeed.com in hopes of achieving the look I want, with good longevity thats plug and play.
I bought these from the guys at PYSpeed.com:
Instead of replacing the bulbs, these LP replacement modules replace the entire LP unit unit with a board of SMD LED's encased in a housing. They also have a 1 year warranty!
International shipping took 5 business days :thumbup: Thanks to Kev @ PYSpeed!! Highly recommended!
Initial impressions after installation are as follows:
- Light is BRIGHT. When I say bright I mean the brightest LED setup I have seen in the LP location. They cast a broad pattern of light on the ground behind the car, as seen in the pics below. While this isn't for everyone, I like them bright so I am very happy.
- The Color temp of the modules is a very good match to the OEM 4300K HID's. If I had to assign a number to it, I would say around 4500K. They are ever so slightly cooler than the oem HID's, and they do not shift at all after being on for a while. They are nowhere near the typical 6K color temp that you see on a lot of bulbs out there, they have a nice clean, non-blue light. For reference, see my pic below.
- Fitment was spot on, the housing snapped right into place of the OEM units. Install time took all of 15 minutes, and is plug and play no resistors required. They do not strobe either.
PICS -- (Colors are accurate)
LEFT R-Dash LED vs. RIGHT Hoen Xenonmatch Festoon
Both R-Dash LED (Note the 6k temp of my hatch LED's vs. the temp of the LP)
Light Pattern on the ground behind the car
TOP OEM Housing with Hoen Bulb vs. Bottom R-Dash LED Module
Overall I am very happy with the purchase! I can't speak for longevity of the setup, but they do come with a warranty. Based on looks alone, they were exactly what I was looking for :thumbsup:
