    I swapped out interior bulbs to LED + back-up lights, and I was wondering if I could upgrade to brighter LED for the license plate lights (I know they are LED, but they aren't bright enough!)

    Has anyone attempted to change the factory license bulbs? I don't see where I can access these lights from the cargo area. In the user guide, it says these bulbs must be handled by dealer only.

    Thks!

    Purely from the stand point of traffic camera / speed camera enforcement, I hate the idea of helping an automated system take a picture of the back of my car in any night time environment.

    On the interior of your Prime, I am interested in how you like your LED upgrade. Please give some feedback & a link to the actual LED bulbs that you bought.

    I bought these ones from Amazon (Auxito 194/168 LED 6000K White super bright - 4 SMD 3014 Chipset)

    They are durable (had them on my other car) and the color temp is perfect for me!

    Excellent.

    In your opinion, how much brighter are they compared to the stock OE bulbs ?
