i think the ADR rule states (and correct me if im wrong) something along the lines: All lights must be clean, visible and untinted so besides it making the plate less legible i dont think it would be allowed if it did. Got any pics, im interested in seeing how they look.

you would think that by making the characters light up it would be more visible at nite wouldnt it?? dunno what they look like durring the day though:D

as for pics well just imagine ur plates with the letters and numbers lit up in green at nite but the surrounding white isnt.

I recently saw a Japanese Z32 Camaro with Saitama plates and the numers 32...

I thought japanese personalised plates weren't available, but then again money can buy everything right :)

Actually, you pay a fee, and you can choose your number... it's that simple. Of course alot of the single digit numbers are "reserved" for Yakuza, or so it seems.

My number plate is "61-16"... totally chosen at random, I must have been lucky.

Can you choose them now? I did hear them revise the regulation a couple of months ago and what numbers they were up to.

As for the illuminated ones...yes you have to pay extra...why would I want to pay extra to have my plates more visually clear if I accidently ran a red :).

LOL...if only, the whole policing of traffic laws in Japan is simply. Break the law and you will get caught but at the same time you can be equipped with radars and the periodic revisions of where all the cameras are, so if you get caught your pretty stupid or deserve it.

I would have expected people here to be talking about the fixed angle plates or swing plates, obviously when you pick up speed the wind pushes the plate horizontally back so it sits flat.

I think this might be what you (B1) were after?

That jap person has done lots of DIY stuff on their cappuccino but the plate holder/lights seem to be off the shelf kit?

yeah at night it does look cool and kinda blurry but during the day time it makes the number looks bolder. now this one that i saw, instead of the screw on the back plate he has this bright, and i mean really bright blue light. when i was looking at it even i cant read his numbers, so that might one more alternative to look at. the swinging hinges for the front plate its only 900 yen from autobacs and it does work on high speed.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
