Anyone know if it is possible to replace only the bulb in the standard licence plate light, with a LED blub. This would mean the unit would be the same just a different bulb.
Its my dad's idea and he is adamant it would work,but if im being honest, i think he's finally losing his marbles. Any ideas ?

Yes it is possible, here you go:

Fantastic !! Thanks for that, its quite a lot cheaper to just buy the bulbs seems like i owe my dad an apology . Do you know how easy it is to do, and whether it throws on the bulb warning light.
Thanks for your help

Some people are driving with these over here, no problems with warnings. It's super easy. The licenceplate light modules are ,,clicked'' in the bumper. They come out very easy!

R-dash sells complete modules that are very bright, you will get something like this then:




But that will be a lot more expensive.

Here you can find examples from the led lights. Just scroll down a notch. Pictures will be shown automatically.

Xenons come with LED rear lights? Presume these could be fitted as well? No doubt more costly..

thanks very much. i think i will be buy a set as soon as i get some pressed plates

thanks mate. tbh if i can get the same effect by just changing the bulbs i might just do that instead of buying the whole unit. The bulbs are only like £8 and you get the same effect, but then again the item you showed me is only £28 and its from the uk, so im tempted. im guessing they are just plug in and go ? Are you happy with the light output ?
doesnt seem like a lot but the £20 saved if i get the bulbs pays two thirds of the price for the pressed plates !

Mine are so bright they light the road behind the car lol, think the one iv got has 24 mini leds in.
£8 that is canny cheap like, its upto you bud.
