I bet that would look better. OK, "next guy" take note and do it that way. Actually, I've already determined that the six 3mm LEDs, at least while outside the license plate light assembly, look really, really, good. I wasn't even sure how they would look until I glued them all together, soldered their backs, and fired them up. I'll set up a little template for drilling the six holes to try and make it easier on myself. I'll practice on something else before I use my one and only extra light fixture. I'm already sure though that if you had someone skilled doing this that it would come out perfectly. I don't think you'll even be able to see the little LEDs unless you squat down on your knees at the back of the car.
