I was actually trying to figure that out right now, but I cant seem to get the bulb out, I will get under the bumper this weekend and see , unless someone else knows.

Our car only has one bulb above the license plate, so all that would be required is one bulb. But I have a feeling the socket is a different type.

Anyone?

good to find this thread, i was in love with that white lighting when i first saw on IS. I thought they were just white bulb but i guess not.
Would i get a same effect if i just swap the original one with white aftermarket bulb?

Just replace the stock white with the Hyper Whites From PiAA. It makes a big difference for $10.

The only LED light I would use are the PIAA SUPER TERA they sell for about $60 US, but it last much longer than any other LED I had ever use and they're much brighter.

$60 is a bit higher than what I want to spend on this little project. For $7 I will try the one I got, if it fails, I will just replace the stock bulb.
