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.

Re: Licence plate light question
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...
