Re: Licence plate light question

If you repainted you are not getting a good ground. You have positive going to the bulb but you have lost the ground at the housing to complete the circuit.

I agree with no ground. You will have to put a scratch in your shiny new paint to get a ground back and then you will see the light...

X2 or run a ground wire if that is possible.
