license plate and door bottom leds

hi everyone.. i tried searching other threads but didn't have much results. i'm looking for leds in my license plate area and door bottoms. the color i'm looking for is something white but not super bright... something that looks like it's off an OEM BMW or Mercedes.

please help me with color selection, bulb type, and where you got them.

thank you

How do you get the plate assembly off to change the bulb?

I bought mine from Marinelli Motorsports & love'em! They look great at night. For the license plate bulbs you have to remove two clear covers right above the license plate/behind the bumper. It's real easy, just get on your hands and knees and look up under there. Takes like 5 minutes to change them.

static performance has them, direct replacement

i just installed door/dome/license plate leds


the door piece is kinda a PITA i just used a flat screwdriver and pried on it to pop it down (towards your face if your under the door) turns out thats actually how it comes out, though you dont have much to play with bc there is a plug that you cant reach, but just pop the light out and put the new on in

Go to infinitihelp.com, I think or .net, anyways look for the in cabin air filter change video and it shows you step by step how to remove the glove compartment. I plan to change my light when I change my in cabin filter.

OP. I bought my lights from staik and hpun. Both will give you a good deal just pm them on what you want.

I actually like the yellow look. Im at 110k miles and yet to have a light go out yet so I'm not going to fool with anything

Your license plate brightness/color is perfect for what I want. Can you direct link me to the same exact product you bought please!

Are those bulbs for the license plate 12 SMD or 5 SMD? I'm looking into buying a couple LED bulbs and those look pretty bright.
