#34520, "License Plate Lights, need advice"


          

i got the blitz body kit installed on my car but i remembered that we removed the rear license plate lights a) they were nasty b) it was 3am and we didnt feel like cutting into the rear bumper heh

so when i get my car back in two days, anyone got advice on rear license plate lights?

i know its illegal not to have them so i need something to light up my license plate... are there any kinds of lights taht i can mount where the old ones were without cutting into the bumper? or battery powered lights taht say stick to the license plate frame?

or those new LED license plate bolts?

any suggestions?

WIll you drill a hole? You can easily mount any light there with any sort of glue or adhesive and run the wire through a hole to a power source. Would jus tneed to be a very small hole

I got banned for being a constant tard.

Have you ever seen the bullet type bolts with the nuts??

My dad picked up some one time at a truck stop, and you could get them in different colors. I had thought about putting two on my truck, but I never got around to it.

It looks like a bullet head with threads on the back, and a nut. The wires are on the inside of the threaded part of it, and it is pretty small threads so the holes would probably be about 1/8 or something like that.

Different people probably have opinions about this, but I thought that it would be different.

when i got my blitz kit put on, the guy calls me and says we got a problem, the rear needs to be fabricated to fit in your licence plate lights, so i asked how much he said a extra $100 i said fuck that. So its been 4 months now driving without a light never once have 1 been pulled over hehe

i will do that, thanks!!

does anyone know, the old license plate lights we have....im going off memory here but, arent the old ones connected to the reverse lights ? i remember detaching something that connected to 4 things but when we reconnected everything, we didnt connect 2 of them...

can i just run the license plate bolts to those wires? just do a little splicing and attaching?
