Hi guys i was just wondering if anyone ever fitted one of these and how theyve done it im thinking of either getting these or just stick to Canbus led bulbs.

I have a unit like that in my boot, very bright.

I have 2x 6 SMD bulbs on my wife's Altea as I have a rear camera and it illuminates better. I would say that two of these is insanely bright, as in far too much.

Personally I would stick with CANBUS festoon's, 6 SMD max per unit but others may disagree.

I would highly recommend these number plate lights -

Very good, had them in my car for about 2 months and my dad has had them for 2 years with no problems at all!!
