on air, don't care
So for Christmas my girlfriend got me the DeAutoKey interior LED kit, it's amazing, and she also got me the RDash plate lights.

DeAutoKey was kind enough to send me a sample of their plate lights to put up against the RDash's blue haze.
So first off, the bulbs:
RDash; as you can see, the 6 clusters of LEDs are in plain sight with little diffusion.
DeAutoKey; there seems to be the same amount of LEDs present, just a lot more plastic diffusion.
Secondly is the size of the resistors:
RDash; they are almost as big as the light housings themselves, and are a tad wider so you cant even velcro them together.
DeAutoKey; clearly they are immensely smaller and easier to work with.
Both of them side by side:
And the part you've all been waiting for, light output:
RDash; slight blue lines going vertical from the car outward.
RDash; f/10 to show the lines better.
DeAutoKey; Clean white light.
DeAutoKey; f/10 to show no discoloration.
Close up; DeAutoKey on the left, RDash on the right; they both put out a good amount of visible light.
All in all, the DeAutoKey LEDs are nice and crisp, I only got them today but I'd definitely recommend them to people.
EDIT: So I've been reading and hearing how people are having fitment issues with the DeAutoKey LED Plate lights.. These next three photos should clear things up and make your fitment perfect and have your plate shining bright!
So this is the stock halogen housing:
And this is the DeAutoKey Plate Light connector:
See any differences? Yeah, the stock ones are bent at an angle while the DeAutoKey's aren't. You might be thinking it's time to return them... WRONG!
Just take a small flathead screwdriver and bend the prongs to match your stock ones and then slip it into the connector on the car.
Perfect!
If you were in a rush and just jammed the DeAutoKey connectors in (I'll admit, I did the night I got them) just take your flat head and bend them to the position of your stock set and they'll work fine (clearly lol).
Enjoy your new lights without paying outrageous fees for an unwanted blue tint. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
