Just got some cool blues for the front and im putting in daylight LED,s for the rear reg plate lights ...Im more bugged about the reg plate LED.s does anyone have any experience of making yourself more prone to being pulled over because of them or are they strictly legal.
The blurb says they make the rear plate look white anyone know for sure or have i just blown 20 notes:)

As far as the law is concernd, aslong as the lamp is in good working order and emits white light then its an MOT pass, some of the newer BMW's have the kind of HID effect numberplate lights which give off a white/blue tinge, its also not the colour of the blulb its how bright they are, i put some 5W 501's Phillips blue vision in my old saxo and they lit the back of the car up but the numberplate was readable.

I have white leds for the numberplate, never had a problem.
Oh yeah the plate will be bright, no fear of that.

Are they cheap LED sidelight bulbs? I bought a pair off ebay and they only lasted about 3 hrs before they both burnt out.

I replaced them with decent ones and they been fine ever since.

There is a seperate fuse for each sidelight, might be worth checking these first.
