License Plate LED Bulb Comparison

I used the Sylvania's for the license plate lights on my 2012 and the wife's 2014 Enclave...much improvement over the stock lights.


.....and the law dogs have spotlights to light up your plates guys, keep your stock lights, it won't matter. If they want to see your plate, they will get it

i noticed that when the police see the license plate bulb modification it makes them look twice at it. if they see just the regular bulbs, they tend to look less. but thats my experience here

Dunno if they run my plate there is no reason to pull me and if they want to pull me over they can know what my plate says because I ain't running, those days are over.

I run leds in my plate lights. I like the way it looks.

I noticed my rear camera does not like the brighter LED bulbs. They seem to glare a lot.

Not surprised! Everything about the Sylvania/OSRAM bulb and packaging seems much better in terms of quality and they have a pretty good reputation, at least in my book, so I guess time will tell.

Osram does make a superior LED; we use Osram chips in our Elite series bars.

I'm taking my LED's out for the license plate area. They cause too much white wash for the Rear Camera.
Noah has a good point to as in regards to .....lighting up your license plate when it's not necessary

you got a get out of jail free card. haha

Noah, does Mr. "lights all over my truck" have something to hide by not wanting to illuminate his license plate to the fullest? lol

I guess you don't really have much to gain by making your license plate more visible LOL

well, my plate is not on my truck at the moment........ it fell off a few months ago and i havent put it back on yet.

I've had LED bulbs on the license plate for a little while now. Besides them looking better I noticed the toll gantries here in Central Texas have trouble reading the plate at night when the transponder can't pickup my toll tag. Missed out on about $50 or so in tolls so far. I had the glare issue when I had the stock bumper but with the aftermarket one I don't get the glare anymore on the rear camera.

I have a custom plate so it's going to get a double take from DPS regardless, haha.
