Remind me not to stay in the holiday inn the next time I'm in Charleston. :smilielol:

LMAO!

lol, just got me some glass packs and tips, i'll post up some pics once i get em welded up.

On a 2005 yukon, how do you get these bulbs out for the license? I looked up under the bottom of the truck but i didnt see any screws or anything... so i wasnt sure...

there should be a twist in socket from the back of the bumper. Just turn it and pull straight out. Kinda tough to get to with a tow package...

The 194's are the wedge-base, so you should be able to do LED's as a direct-swap. Anyone know if it's illegal to run colored-license plate bulbs?

I don't believe there's a federal statue, therefore, it will depend directly on State and local laws.

Which means, it's all up to how good of a talker you are to get out of the ticket! :cool2:

Yes it is Illegal, you can't run red or blue lights on the front or back. Now green purple and others are still Illegal but depending on the officer he might let you slide. Now me on the other hand I wouldn't bother you it's not a big deal to me because it's not hurting anyone. But if you had red or blue flashers on your car you could be charged with impersonating a police officer.
Hope this helps

Guess that means I should remove the blue cellophane from my spot lights, lol. Just kidding.

if i was a cop i would like it since i could see the plates better:cool2:

around here if you can see the bulb (which you could on the plate lights) its illegal.

Now i used to have a car (that was a show car in progress that was never finished), with a grand worth of strobes and neon/LED's on it. never had a problem with the cops. but the G/F got pulled over a little while back for having a purple plate ring. the cop told her the law states the license plate lights are required to be white. (even though the ring made the plate MUCH easier to read)


Anyone have a good link for dash/plate/signal LED's?
