4" CCFL for rear license plate lighting?
Has anyone ever tried shoving a 4" CCFL in the compartment for the rear license plate light on the LB? Can you shove / fit a 4" CCFL and its inverter in there?
I put a white LED bulb in to replace the stock light bulb and while it's brighter, it's still pretty weak at lighting. |

I'm thinking about installing 2 or 3 single LEDs superflux chips. I'm sure you can find a place for the converter for a CCFL though.

I have a 4" CCFL and inverter already. I've got lots laying around from some of my old PCs.
A CCFL would give a more uniform lighting than a bulb / LED. |

that would look pretty cool - do it... when you're not tired, of course.
