25w Cree Led has just arrive. Guess what?



One side burned 2 weeks later and the dual resistors heat to much. (Updated this info 04/07/13)

WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME!

It came from Poland. Here's the link:

nice!!! that LED light is using 4 LEDs inside each housing... interesting solution...

chris, your front license plate is smaller than the EU size lic plates? do you have special front bracket to accomodate the smaller brasilian standard, or your license plate is bolted onto the standard EU plate holder?

Hey Terminator,

here's the pics and the differences between 3 plates (Euro, Brazil, US).
The US plates will fit with the Euro plate holder, for sure.

Very nice. Not too expensive either. I'm curious to see how long these will last.

Those look awesome. Where/how did you mount the resistors?

Hey mate, you right! It's a Russian plate, St. Pete. You're good.
By the way, I'm braziliam. I got this plate a few years ago. I was not finding it in any shop, so I ask a taxi driver about it. Cost: 20 buxs. Delivered at my hotel door. Don't ask me how .

The US plate I got in Orlando by 2.99 buxs.

iJust to you know, In Brazil, the plates own to car, not to owner. If I sell the car, the plate needs to go too and this never will change. Even in a wreck, the plates goes to trash and the combination will never be used again. In some states (yet) you can choose the letters and numbers when buy a new car, paying 50 bux. But the plates belong to car, always.

And, almost forget to say, here you have to use both plates, front and rear.

Hug, Chris
