I believe the size for the LED Lights for the licence plate are 194. As verification, what size is the LED light i need? I found this web site http://www.v-leds.com, anyone have different info?

Thanks

The 194 LEDs should work. While there are several choices, you may want to avoid the "high-power" LED options for the licence plate lights. In communicating with v-leds' customer service, I was advised that continuous long-period illumination of high-power LEDs can shorten their life span. I elected to use the high-power LEDs in the interior lights, since none of them would stay on nearly as long as exterior lights would.

For my licence plate lights, I bought the 5-SMT superwhite LEDs which illuminate the lamps quite nicely without the excess heat often produced with the high-powered LEDs.

Hi guys - quick question --- would this be the same for the 08 sedan?

This is the link to the LED from v-leds.com (http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/Corn ... 81039.html) --- would you tell me if they are the correct ones?

Much appreciated

Hi, dieseldom,

Those are the ones I bought for the license plate on my '09 A/C. Unless I am seriously mistaken, I believe that the electrical system with regard to lighting on the '08 model is virtually the same as that of the '09. I believe I recall seeing a lamp bulb application thread on here (was it stickied somewhere?) which stated as much. Can anyone provide info to the contrary here?

Yes those are the right ones any 194 bulb will work.
