License Plate Screw Lights

[InS0mNiAc]

Have we all seen these yet? I saw them on a brabus mercedes last night, they changed from purple to blue in a sequence and I think that they looked awesome. Anyone got these yet, or know how to install them? I'm interested in them but wondering if they might be a little to ricey for the X.

I think they would be pretty damn phat, let me know if you find out anything about them. I changed my liscens plate lights already to blue, so this would just add to it. Oh yeah dont switch colors of the liscens plate bulbs though, the light has burned away the blue pretty much and it looks green now. yuck

i think its JEGS or SUMMIT that has some. i saw them in the catalog. the one that i saw where white lites. i think all they are is basically a bolt with a light in the 'head' and the threads are 'hollow' for the wires to get to the light, and a nut to tighten everything up with.

hope this helps with your journey of finding them.

I have the lighted screw lights and license plate bulbs

I have blue license plate screw lights in the front and they are an awesome blue color like neon blue and I have red in the back and they are both really bright. Easy to hook up and they were cheap. I got mine off ebay for 20 bucks for all 4. You run two wires a hot wire and a ground and that is it. I also have blue license plate bulbs in back. Plasma which are a bright whitishblue color. I put blue in the front because it is against the law to have blue in the back in Wisconsin. I havent been pulled over yet. I have red in the back because that is legal in Wisconsin. I get a lot of compliments on them. I also have blue wheel lights that are bullets with a small light on the end and they are blue and I get a lot of compliments on them as well.

was it alittle harder to wire them in the rear? Could you explain what you wired them to because I am very interested in getting these.

I wired them to my license plate lights

I wired the fronts to my parking lamps wire and the back ones to my license plate lights wire. So, when my parking lamps and license plate lights come on so, do my screw lights. They look sweet too. They are super bright and you can see them from far away

 

[InS0mNiAc]

do they come with a switch or do you have to wire them into the parking lamps?

I put them on my 2001 Sport and got pulled over. They shot directly into the driver behind me eyes. I now have to pair, one shines down next to the plate in back, and the others go stright forward in the factory fog light bays.

ne1 heard of or seen the ones that gradually change from one color to another? not the ones that flash like a strobe, i mean just gradually changes

No switch, you have to run into your lights

That sucks about getting pulled over. I haven't got pulled over yet but with blue in the front someday I am sure I will since it is illegal here in Wisconsin to have anything but amber in front and red in back. I have red in back and blue in front. I haven't been pulled over yet for the red ones and boy are they bright in back. But they are just like having your regular tail lights on. Hell, some people have a super bright bulb in there tail lights that shine in my eye and do they get pulled over probably not. That is a stupid reason to pull you over for. Hell, fog lights shine in your eyes lets pull everyone over for having fog lights next. I had fog lights that lite up the whole back of the cops car blue and the first time I didn't get pulled over but the next time I did. I asked him why he was pulling me over. I got of it with a warning and still drove with them on

They carry these APC ( i think theyre APC) at the 24hr AutoZone by my house. I think they were like $10 for 2 of them or something. I am looking into getting some. Seen them a couple of days ago.

 

[2K1Xplorer]

Yeah, Our AutoZone has them too. 4.99 for a pair.

And here's the back.
