oh no comparison. the HIDs have real light output. the LEDs dont put out much light. but thats why i bought them. i had HIDs in my factory fogs, but as i have them wired as daytime running lights over time it killed the bulbs from coming on/off with the ignition. but the LEDs are bright to look at and they get attention even in the middle of the day so thats why i went with them. if your looking for output keep the HIDs.

Our state law says the license plate bulb must light the license plate in such a manner that it can be read from a distance of 50 feet. Most other states have similars laws. But I can't recall ever seeing the law enforced to the letter unless the bulb was totally burned out. I doubt seriously that many cops even know the actual law unless the bulb is totally burned out.

The problem with the wording in our state law is the fact that a 25 year old cop has much better eyesight than a 50 year old cop. The lawmakers never take this sort of thing into consideration when drafting and passing laws.
