CAR SPORT MODIFICATION: 2010

Ever since 2006, when Lexus first introduced the LED license plate lights for its popular Lexus IS250 and IS350, this new "fashion trend" has been getting hotter and hotter.

There are two advantages for the LED license plate lights.

First of all, it gives nice white color which gives a nice match with most cars' HID headlights.

Secondly, the White LED license plate light emits a 5000K – 5500K color which is close to the sun light makes the license number easy to read.

After Lexus introduced the LED license plate lights for its whole production lines, BMW has followed up this new trend for its most popular 3 series with white LED license plate lights. In 2010, Mercedes has also adapted this LED license plate lights for its flagship, the S Class.

For cars without the factory equipped LED license plate lights, the aftermarket LED replacement bulbs become the solution.

For more American and Japanese cars, the bulb for the license plate light is 168 or 194 or 2825 wedge shape light bulb. The most common one and the betting fitting ones are the 12-SMD 360 Degrees Shining T10 LED bulbs.

There are 12-pcs super bright SMD SMT LED chips on each light bulb that shine 360 degrees to project light on the license plate nicely.

For more European cars, the bulb for the license plate light is 6418 or 6411 festoon shape light bulb. Since for most European cars, there are on board computer (OBC), therefore in order to change the license plate lights to LED and at the same time, eliminate the error warning showing on dashboard, you will need the Error Free 6418 LED bulbs.

For these Error Free LED bulbs, there are can-bus controllers built-in, therefore they will bypass the on board computer to avoid the warning message about the "bulbs out" displaying on dashboard.

We've featured our fair share of EVOs on Speedhunters and I personally never get tired of seeing them. In standard trim, they can look pretty aggressive but when built up as a Time Attack competition machine, there's even more potential for pure fearsomeness. We all know the Sierra Sierra and Cyber EVOs but now there's a new kid on the block from Redbrick Racing in the UK.

Here is something special you won't find on your regular EVO. A complete AP Racing brake setup with carbon 343mm rotors and DTM calipers with titanium race nuts. In the rear we can find carbon 278mm rotors and F1 calipers from the same company.

Besided the engine, the suspension is another very important part of a car so here is another list with all the goods: Custom Tracktive T45 Rear Sub frame, Custom Tracktive T45 Front Sub frame, Custom T45 Front Wishbones , Titanium Front Strut Brace, Custom Aluminium Rear Suspension Arms, Custom Blade Anti Roll bars, EXE-TC WRC Gp A Dampers, Custom Billet Aluminium front / Rear Hubs, Hell Titanium Brake Lines, Hell Carbon F1 Fluid Lines.
