It looks like the Hoen product is an excellent choice. Simple, straightforward and reliable.

you can change out the stock filament running light bulbs in the front headlights also. I used a 4 led blue for the front running light. you have to pull the headlight assembly. very easy though.

i changed out most of my bulbs....

the rear license plate looks very nice with a "blue" or "hyper white" LED. it looks slightly blue...but not ricey. it has a more "modern" look to me.. brighter too.

I put blue LEDs into my front parking lights. if you have just the parking ligths on it looks cool...bluish/xenon kind of tint to it...once you turn on your main headlights, however, it's all washed otu and will look like whatever your lights look like when on.

i changed out my dome light and door lights as well. the door lights don't have a lot of clearance...I believe I ended up using regular bulbs, not LEDs for the doors, b/c the LEDs were physically too large to fit. check the clearance of your bulbs and verify dimensions on th bulbs you order. the leds I bought worked fonr in some spots, not others.

good luck.

For those of you interested in going down the route in purchasing the Hoen units, I have been in touch with Andreas for the past 2 weeks. This morning he informed me the units will arrive Friday and shipped out either this up and coming Tuesday or Wednesday. I simply cannot wait to recieve them as my lights are in due need of replacement. Upon installation I will post photographs.

Just curious why you want the license light so bright? I'd just as soon not even want mine visable at night.

I think it's because folks want to match the rear lights with the white xenon lights in the front of their cars to totally rid it of the yellowish halogen looking light all around. A lot of new cars (particularly Japanese ones), come with white led lights for their license plate illumination, and supposedly makes the car look more modern. :

My license plate bulbs are already due for replacement and on top of that my lights are blacked out, therefore, visibility is reduced for those around me. My car at night already looks like a floating license plate but I am more than positive the new bulbs will help others see me a bit more than before.

On a side note, with my current license plate and blackened lightsI am kind of asking for trouble, so in that sense I am not worried about being pulled over. Plus, I hardly ever drive over the speed limit!

Can anyone confirm the 3610 from superbrightleds.com will work without any problems?
