Hey guys! :action-smiley-069: Ima pretty new here but anyways, was looking at getting white LED number plate lights for my r34 GTT (coz the OEM ones are getting dull and too yellowish), done some rough research and saw T10 501 capless or W5W are good choice? (have no idea what they are/what they mean but anyways...)

so i found out some links and I am not too sure how reliable these lights are :unsure:

Hey mate, I haven't changed mine to LED yet but have tested quite a few LEDs (courtesy to my local eBay guy) and have found the T10 wedges to be the best. The first link is actually the guy I buy my LEDs from. Can vouch for his service, great guy and especially aftermsales, he takes care of you. There's a few guys in on it but ask for Tom if you need any help.

If you're gonna be that picky, then ideally the top right one in the photo would be the best IMO:

It gives a more flooded lighting, but the T10 wedge as seen in the lower photo would do just as good. If you're bothered, you can buy LED strips and wire it up that way, but quick n easy, bulb change.

icic so pretty much higher SMD = mroe widespread and brighter?

ima probably get some and try em out soon!

Yep. The more the merrier :)

My parkers are bright as compared to plenty non-halogen bulbs.

now the only question is: What colour =)

A icey white would look sex on black ;)

Mine are icey white. It's not an actual colour, but it's what it appears to be :)

When I bought it, I had to change 3 LED bulbs to find the matching pair. One had a blue tinge, then another had purple, then blue again, then white lol

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
