You could retrofit an LED strip up under the lip where the normal bulbs are and wire them in to the original bulb wiring, its bright and looks smart; might be worth a look! You can find the LED strips anywhere, search ebay for "30cm LED strip" and those should be perfect size/brightness + length to sit in there as they are adhesive backed too!
Technically Not road legal those LED Strips, meant for offroad use only
Maybe you need to find 2 Half sphere style lights - so you can mount one each side with 2x Led bulbs to get it brighter?

Hi.
I understand that it is not legal to fit something like led bulb. But why ?
Because number is better lighted and in case of something wrong police can take easier a picture ?
I use one led-bulb for number plate.
Why new cars had led bulbs ?
seen afew car's lately with Led number plate lights.
all they do is flicker, id stay with the original bulb's.
I should confess I have recently fitted a LED bulb to light my number plate as an experiment though, fine on my mk2b but errors the dash on my grande as the grande checks the number plate bulb for failure.
All the 'brighter' LEDs achieve is lighting the ground a bit better
I understand what you all are writing - this are illegal.
But somebody need to think about this with his brain. Not reading old information from old books. If number plate is better visible so why not change old " uk lighting regulations 1989 " to something younger, better, stylish.

If you get decent ones, they won't flicker. Unfortunately, people insist on buying cheap crap powered by ICs designed in the 80s.Iwas going to fit some in my car.
but after seeing them flicker on other car's igave up on the idea.
look at some of the cars fitted with them & you will see what imean by flickering..
