Lexus license plate bulbs

I have been noticing that the newer Lexus models look to have LED license plate bulbs that give off the perfect pure bright white light. After going through close to $100 worth of VLEDs and Superbrightleds, I am sick of them flickering after a few months or being way more blue than white. Does anyone know what kind of bulbs Lexus is using for their license plates?

I would have to assume it is because their license plate lights are made to be LED from the factory. Meaning the connection is probably a lot better than a plug and play bulb and LED's are of high quality. When our bulbs cost a few bucks a pop, you cant expect the best quality.

I also have mine from superbrightleds..however I have the natural white and thats the one that is identical to that of Lexus, looks great! i'll try to snap some tonight, the trick is to not have the LED insanely bright and blue, it has to have the perfect output along with pure white..i'll snap pics tonight..

Second the natural white suggestion. I am not having any problems after nearly a year.

Here is a post that might help. https://www.myg37.com/forums/2460286-post73.html

I had the Cool White superbrightleds (WLED-CW5) and after about 8 months they started flickering like crazy. You guys haven't had problems with that?

Pulled over...for license plate lights?! For "Cool White" license plate lights?! That sucks man, how in the world did that happen? Unless you had them super bright blue or something I don't see how a cop could pull you over for that...
