Default License Plate Bulb LEDs Help

Ive done some reading and seen that the majority of ppl use those strip leds to lite up there plate...But I ask why cant you just change the bulb, audis and bmw's all have excellent lit plates from the factory. I came across this site and it seems as these put out quite a bit of light from the bulb. Lemme know what you think

You're correct, just swap the bulbs for LED bulbs from JWmotoring. He has the brightest I believe. An LED strip is overkill for that location in addition to the lighting that is already there imo.

Take care
