Hard to tell...most night pics are automatically over-exposed....so it may look brighter than it really is.

Regardless on the brightness, Im all for LEDs.

DAMN, that's pretty damn bright. I'm in the process of changing mine also. I had 4LED xenon whites on my license plates and for some reason they look really blue. I just ordered a pair of 5SMT LEDs for my plates and i hope its BRIGHT! got mine off ebay for $10 a pair, will post results when i receive it in the coming day or so.

That looks very bright. Hope it doesn't scorch the plastic lens that my one of my bulbs did. Have to check the fitment of the bulb and and lens as to why it scorched one and not the other.
