LED plate frame (night pics added)
I slapped this together tonight:
Dunno how well it'll look once installed but it should be a lot better that the white neon frame I have now which only lights up 1/4 of the way once it drops below freezing  . 2 Oznium super-white LED strips on a 2 cent plate frame, not a bad deal I figure. Once it warms up a bit I'll pop it on the wehicle. I think it turned out better than the LED frames that have the LEDs spaced out wayyyy too much. I'll redo it with slicone instead of wire ties to bind the strips to the frame if it looks good installed.

No, the strips are pre-fabbed by Oznium. $10-$14 each depending on color. That's the same type of strip in my dome light.

This looks nice. I don't know if anyone else has seen but I was driving down the highway and a champagne silver lexus passed and had ultra white on the license plate. I said to myself "I will have that" So I will prob add some ultra white...I can't afford the new lexus.

Now, to get off topic. I bought some LEDs from Oznium. I see that you sanded off the heads of each bulb which is what Oznium recommended for more light. Is it actually better?

I've heard it just spreads it more evenly as opposed to being more angular.

Definitely, and these strips come with the LEDS already sanded to a flat tip. Once you use a flat tip you'll probably never want a round one again for glow effects.

if you see anyones cars with LED's in them (good examples would be mine, cherrington17 and Silentalero) for both interior and some exterior, all LED's have the tips sanded down. what this does is it spreads the light so that it doesnt look like little dots on what ever it is glowing on |

Well it's -5 here right now with snow everywhere, but I gave into peer pressure and installed it anyhow lol . What do you mean it's only 4 screws? You think the LEDs are powered on faith? They gotta be wired up man! Took about an hour, but I won't be able to get pics until it's dark out...
