License plate light dilemma !
 

Ok .. 1965 C2 Vert.. So i switched to lED lights from Bruce (ohiovet) and their perfect.. Then i got a LED light for the license plate and its very bright.. One side .. The right side is very bright .. Left .. Not so much.. Problem is only 1 bulb.. Looks retarded.. Anybody .. Have a fix ? Ty Joe :crazy:

Just a thought...:hide:

Is the ground on the week side making full contact were its connected?

Dunno.. But worth checking .. ! Ty...

Going to send back the this bulb an order the tower LED bulb which is longer , slimmer and has a better field of view.. 360.. Eh !

Have OhioVette's LED Tail Lamps and Front LED Parking lights.. All top Quality.

I would PM him with your Phone number.. He'll call you back... I'm sure he will work with you.:thumbs:

Joe,

Are you saying the thing is BUILT WITH only 1 bulb, or that only 1 bulb is not working correctly?

No the license plate bracket only has 1 bulb.. And while this bulb is very bright .. It does not carry across the full license plate . Very bright on right side. Dim on the left:confused2::confused2:

LED bulb for license plate light.
 

Typically the standard license plate bulb works with the lens to scatter the light and light the license plate.
I have found that many LED bulbs tend to "focus" the light and therefore it is not scattered or defused by the lens.
My suggestion is to try different style LED bulbs to see if one works better then another.
There are also some nice license plate frames that have LED lights built into them. There are some good deals on Ebay at times.

Exactly what i'm going to do..Ty Bruce .. Love the LED lights ..Joe

Hey Joe... Let me know who's LED frame you end up with ..I like the idea of a completely evenly lighted frame...
Thanks : Mark

#5008 incandescent bulb. Try one and be done. Won't melt your lens, has no dim spots and is twice as bright as the original #68 bulb.

LEDs are great for a lot of applications, but sometimes they just don't get the job done.

New bulb 1156. Worked like a charm. .,, bright and even.. Problem solved !!

1156 Bulb
 

Just watch out---1156 bulbs generate a lot of heat. Their main use was for back up lights. Make sure your lens doesn't start to melt---Keep an eye on it !!!
