I bought these, they work great. I think I had two broken in the bag, but it wasn't worth sending them back, to me at least.

I had a cover that was supposed to impair red light cameras. Hardly had it a day and security at Kirtland AFB saw it and ordered me to remove it.
One day my LE son saw me washing the car and the license plate and said don't bother with washing the plate. Don

My son took my tag off & sprayed it with some solution he got. It dried clear but at night, it's very rreflective and from even a short distance the numbers look washed out and unreadable.

Just a matter of what your tastes are as I like the white led lights.

I have been buying the 10 and 20 packs of T10 LED's off amazon for years, in other cars, it took 6-8 of them for the interior, plate, etc. The only downside is these burn out after a year or so but just pop another in and you're good for another year. Also remember these are polarity sensitive and sometimes the prongs need to be bent a bit better for contact.
