Re: License Plate Light

For your style of build I would suggest a license plate frame with an integrated light, clean simple etc. https://www.google.com/#q=summit+rac...w=1440&bih=805

Re: License Plate Light

When I added a back up camera, and with having a flip up plate to access my gas tank I ran out of room so I used these LED bolt lights.

They are cheap and work great.

Heres my set up.

Re: License Plate Light

I used the aluminum billet frame with light from SpeedwayMotors.com for around $35.

Re: License Plate Light

I used a over the counter one, made a bracket to attach to the bottom of the flip down plate/gas cap cover.

Re: License Plate Light

Thanks guys,

I made up a front bracket and will do the same for the back after visiting all the big chain car stores around the place with no luck.

Will mount a light over the back one as they are freely available.

I'll chuck some pics up when I finish up.
