CM License Plate LED

I am looking to upgrade my W5W license plate bulbs with some LED modules or CANBUS LED bulbs. I have read that CANBUS bulbs can burn faster that non-CANBUS.

I have been looking at the Weisslicht LED modules, but $60 seems a little crazy.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Just get error-free W5W LED bulbs and they are plenty bright enough. I ordered mine through ijdmtoy.com. They've been in for well over a year without any issues.

When changing them out make sure to slide the bulb housing to one side or the other so that the catch lip clears the bumper fascia. This is also true for the puddle lights in the bottoms of the door.

Good luck!
