I finally received the correct LED bulb for the 2010+ license plate replacements. They fit and work perfect. On our car there's no glow at all meaning that they will not require a resistor. I'm not sure if that's going to be the same for all model years and options as we've got the HID and I'm unsure if stuff like that effects the licence plate bulb wiring or not. None the less here's a step by step installation and some comparison pics. We'll have plenty of the license plate bulbs in stock by July 1st.

Using a phillips head screw driver remove the left side license plate bulb housing.

Remove the stock bulb from the housing and replace it with the LED bulb. Make sure to aim the LED portion of the bulb downward in the housing and the white part of the bulb up. This will ensure that the LED when lit will shine down on the plate.

Place the bulb housing back into the bumper and tighten both screws so that they are snug. Do not overtighten them as you can crack the bulb housing if they're tightened to much.

Repeat the same procedure for the other side and your done.

Looks great, if not a bit bright however.
Any room to put in some Neutral Density film in there to knock down the LED brightness by 20%, or if each housing has more than one LED light in there, can one or two of them be removed or disengaged to cut the amount of light down a bit?

Thanks

I doubt this question will get answered seeing as though it seems your trying to sell these yourselves but whats the part number on these and can they be found at auto parts stores? Also whats the price on a pair?

They're not that much brighter than stock but white instead of amber. No tint should be needed or is recommended. Remember you're looking at an image posted on a website. It's not going to be an accurate way of measuring the brightness of a light bulb.

Hope that helps.

Working fine for us, might want to check your browser settings maybe? If you're trying to log in from work, it could be a blocked site because of some risque pictures we have in the calendar section.

They are currently out of stock but we should be receiving a large batch of them real soon. I'll find out exactly when we're expecting them to arrive and post an update for you guys tomorrow.

Thanks, Jared

I know this is a shot in the dark, but are these the same bulbs they use on a 2010 Focus as well? Ive been looking to get a set of these for the daily and havent found shit yet, they look VERY similar to the bulbs on your guys' mustang. Thanks, and it looks sweet :beer:.
