A better white led for license plate ?

Anyone can help on this mod? I like how the new Mercedes and other cars look with their white blueish but not completely cool output..

Maybe someone can help

This might not be of any help.

I put black tape over mine.

Look in cosmetic modifications.

Also illegal, but whatever.

(pretty sure they can pull you over for no plate lights too, so it actually draws more attention to you than just having a normal lit plate)

The lights are still there functioning I only cover the part that lights the plate up like a football field. I never have issues because I don't drive like a jerk and I am super nice to law enforcement if I eve4 do get pulled over.

I'd go for LED for the best coverage.

I'm awaiting my Week 51 build. The license plate lights aren't white LED? My 2017 MINI JCW is.

They seem like it to me, I'm not sure what the OP is on about.

FWIW though, the reverse lights are still incandescent (yes, even in the LCI LED tail lights... there's only a single bulb, for reverse, no clue why they did this)
