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!
