I believe that the part number is 6418. I ordered few Festoon Super White 39mm LED for the license plate. Stock is Phillip 12V. The problem is that if I install 2 LED, the license plate has no single bulb lit up. If I install a mixmatch, LED and stock Phillip bulbs are lit up.

I really like the LED look for the license plate. Please advise.

Thanks for reading.

So your saying only one LED lights up? Did you try using another LED?

 

Since LED consumes much lower power, thus, requiring a resistor. Here are 3 attached pics of my Q7 license plate. I didn't think that people in the world would be interested in my license plate numbers so I blocked them out. The license plate now looks like those latest Lexus vehicles.

 

Thats pretty cool looking dude! I like it.

 

Hi, I really dig your LED License Setup. I put in LED Turn Signals Last night on my q7 and tried to install LED in my License plate. I was curious how you connected your Resistors to the LED Light. I could not find any wiring to hook the resistors to. Your help is greatly appreciated. Also What was the final resistors that you ended up using. Thanks, Ryan

 

Has anyone you know in the forum had any sucess installing LED lights in the 4 brake lights in the Q7

 

No need to install resistors anymore. I was thinking to put LED for my license plate light so did a search on this forum. Here is a web site posted by someone that sells 14.5v LED, specially designed for 12v VW (Audi should works fine) bulbs. http://www.42draftdesigns.com/

I just ordered a pair this monring.

 

Thats a great find. I just went to order and they are out of stock. Can you let me know how they work out for you.

 

They told me those bulbs are in back order until later December so I don't have them yet. I will let you know when I installed them.

 

I put these on today and cannot get them to both light up. Can only get one LED and one filament bulb, but with both installed, they don't come on.

UPDATE - I put a 33 ohm resistor from Radio Shack in parallel with one of the LEDs. Works fine now. The bulbs are really bright and give a crisp white light that fills the rear license area - just like the Lexus.
