MFD LED License plate lights - another review...

Got them from M-Force, great vendor and received in 3 days.
FS thread here : http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=253467

18 LEDs per side and even during the day you can tell a noticeable difference between stock and MFD LEDs. Will take pics at night and update thread.

I have a 2008 E92 and always felt the LED license lights were too dim and wished they were just a little bit brighter (ie Lexus....they look great at night).

Install is a breeze, defn plug/play and no errors at all. These are compatible with any model/year E-9x.

The pics do not show the true color of the LEDs, they do NOT appear blue at all in person rather it's pure white in color.

Stock : no ground illumination

is it possible to just tape off some of the housing or cover so it wouldn't be as bright? then remove it when you wanna go brighter?

Congrats. It's now easier for the cops to read your plate at night.

Really don't understand why people are so worried about cops seeing their license plates?

Unless you're doing something illegal, who the "F" cares if a cop can read your license plate easily? Just my $.02.

Can't wait to get mine!

Exactly......

Actually the opposite is true, it's so damn bright that the reflection off the license plate makes it a little harder to read

Regardless, the pure white color looks sooo sick at night.
