surfcitylocal 64 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 The stock 194 Wedge bulb used for lighting the rear license plate on the iQ is not the brightest bulb (pun intended) so I changed it out to a 194 Wedge type LED bulb from iJDMToy. It's a simple job and the results are much better than stock.The only tools you'll need are a flat head screw driver or a plastic trim removal tool.The light bulb can be accessed from the under side of the rear bumper just above the license plate...Using a flat head screw driver or a plastic trim removal tool, press on the black plastic tab located at the end of the lens and push towards the lens. The entire black plastic housing will be removed from the bumper, not just the lens.When you have the housing removed, turn the bulb socket counter clockwise and the socket will come lose from the housing...Gently pull on the stock bulb and it will come out of the socket. Replace the stock bulb with the LED bulb and turn on the lights to check that it lights. If it does not, reverse the bulb and try again. The LED bulb is polarity conscious and will only light if installed correctly. Once you are sure everything is working properly, the installation is the reverse of the removal.Here you can see the stock lighting...And the difference with the LED bulb is clear to see...An easy job but the result is well worth the short time it takes to accomplish.

tarquin 378 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Ha i can see people on here wanting to keep the bulb as dim as possible and maybe with a bit of added mud. To keep the speed camera's off your backDavid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
surfcitylocal 64 Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 David, do you have a system that gives out speeding tickets by use of a camera? That would suck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Soeley 190 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 David, do you have a system that gives out speeding tickets by use of a camera?That would suck.OMG!! you are so lucky that you have had to ask that question lolLook here http://www.speedcamerasuk.com/gatso.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Soeley 190 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 We even have SPECS http://www.speedcamerasuk.com/specs.htm that moniter you average speed over a stretch or road (mostly motorways. So for example if you are on the motorway for 30 miles you have to make sure your average speed between cameras does not go above 70mph or what ever the speed limit is set at. And these cameras can be spaced out pretty frequently within that 30 mile distance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tarquin 378 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Actually, average speed camera's only work over a 6 mile stretch and changing lanes over that distance messes up the calculationDavid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Soeley 190 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I though the latest spec of SPECs had got around that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

surfcitylocal 64 Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 That sucks! We have radar in use here on the highways but there is always a live officer holding the radar gun and usually they don't go a great job of hiding. They like to use the same locations all the time so we know where they will be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
