So I'm in love with the way Lexus license plate lights look. I think it gives the car a luxury look to it and am pursuing that look. I wanted to get LED bulbs to get this look, however, the license plate lights on my car point outward instead of down at the tag. I can't find good LEDs that point downward (90 degree LEDs). I read somewhere that Lexus bulbs cost about $95 each and I'm not about to spend that for license plate lights. I also read that these bulbs aren't LED, but rather CCFL. Can anyone confirm what type of bulb Lexus uses and where I can find a generic version? It needs to be for 194 type socket.

Thanks.

do you have any pics of how a lexus license plate looks like?

Hey my bulbs light up just like that on my back plate. Go to a audio store or somthing and buy some regular HYPER WHITE bulbs. (194's) and put them in there. thats what i have and they look like that and maybe a little brighter.

I agree. I also have some white led bulbs there and it looks just like that lexus. And im also in love with that look.

thanks for posting this guys, ive been wanting this look for sometime now

I like the hyper white bulbs better then LED's i tried LED's in there and didn't like the out come. So i got hyper white bulbs and they turned out better.

cool. can u guys post pics? thanks.

I used a set of PIAA 194 GTX bulbs and it gives almost the same effect cuz i was in love with that look the first time i saw it.



Its very bright and looks sooo nice. The light has an almost puprlish look to it.

When i get my car back i'll take a pic. Mine are bright.
