I just recently installed my rear license plate lights with a LED unit here's some before and after pics. These weren't replacement bulbs for the stock units. I mounted this LED bar from these guys http://www.customdynamics.com/illumi...nce_plates.htm (it's at the bottom) to a license plate frame I picked up locally. Then I took off the harness for the current plate bulbs and spliced in a new section of wiring and quick disconnect plugs into the harness ( so if needed I can still go back to the old lights really quick).

Here are my 168 LED bulbs, i got them from http://superbrightleds.com/mini-wedge.html

They are the WLED-x6 LED Wedge Base Bulbs and look great...almost like the new GS's LED setup in the license plate.
