I would like to get rid of the boring oem license plate bulbs and go with something better. Any pictures or recommendations? Should I go with Philips bulbs?

I went with some LEDs from superbrightled.com for the license plate lights. While they are definitely brighter (and a pure white color like the Lexus), they tend to reflect off the white paint and make the backup cam look sort of slightly hazy at night. Nothing that I can't put up with but it's definitely there. I installed the same LEDs in my black 4th gen but there is no glare in the backup cam from them.
 
I've done LED as well, just make sure they are not too long. I had to go through3 sets before I found a set that was short enough to fit but was still nice and bright.
 
I did it on mine

I bought the Xenondepot Phillips LED bulbs for the license plate bulbs and they look great at night. I like it because it runs with lower power and are brighter. The LED bulbs are the same ones you would use for the vanity mirror doors and map lights. Go for it! super easy to install just unscrew two screws and pull bulbs out. I also replaced my back up lights with the Xenondepot Phillips bulbs both the license plate bulb and back up light bulbs caused no glare on my rearview camera instead they made the camera look like it was a night vision camera it picks up a lot of detail in reverse pitch black.

Hey,

I didn't take offence at all - you're not the first person to say that. I just found your response funny (for some reason).

This is another one of those threads where I just sit here and scratch my head asking why.

Why the hell do I care about making my license plate more visible? Why the hell would I want to do this? Is this a bling thing? I hate bling and to be honest I want my license plate just bright enough to keep the cops happy and no more.

This is a dumb thread. Sorry. It is.

I find many dumb threads, but instead of posting something that won't be constructive like your post just did....I just move on.
