License plate lights

Kenny Pollock · 06-03-2007, 08:18 PM

I was looking for a way to light up my license plate, it's frenched in the tailgate...

I got screws that act as lights from Pep Boys, but the lights where in the center, and didn't light up the license plate. So, we put them on the lip of the license plate, but they don't light up the whole plate

Whats the solutions? Got a warning and a ticket so far for improper lighting

grndscrpr03 · 06-03-2007, 08:22 PM

these have the lights on the bottom of the bolt so the light points down instead of straight out

summitracing.com

dernoma · 06-03-2007, 08:29 PM

-TiteLite- Domed Head License Plate Light- Polished Finish (pair)

Kenny Pollock · 06-04-2007, 11:15 AM

Thanks guys, going to order from Summit...

Which of the three should I order? They all say stainless steel, so polished = chrome look or what? Also, acorn or no? All the pics are the same

jhankinson · 06-04-2007, 11:36 AM

Also you can just go to your local Boaters Store and pick up some deck/courtesy LED lights...pretty much the same as the LED orangesonoma has. Work great as well.

i had the light bolts from summit....they sucked....and they only lasted like 2 weeks.....i guess they dont like the vibration of being dragged on the ground...lol...but they did not light up the plate as good as the leds...

greencactus3 · 06-04-2007, 01:25 PM

as long as the light up enough to not get BS from the popo ill be happy with dimmer lights.
as for not lasting long... hmm.... tim told me they worked good. booo.
we'll see. i dont drag so it may last longer. and boater store? whats that?

jhankinson · 06-04-2007, 01:39 PM

ya know...places that sell boat stuff....West Marine...Boaters World...Boat US...they have tons of LED lights for deck lighting and courtesy lighting for like yachts and crap....and some pretty trick stuff. Not all of it has to be used on a boat

Criticalbeatdown95s · 06-04-2007, 02:06 PM

And not everyone wants to wait a week + for the dude in a brown shirt/ daisy duke shorts to pull up and shut the truck off.

4.3Xtreme · 06-04-2007, 02:07 PM

They make a license plate frame that has a light at the top of it that shines down to light up the entire plate and it doesn't look gawdy at all.

Criticalbeatdown95s · 06-04-2007, 02:09 PM

Why does Jason make the boxes with only two holes up top for the bolt plug ins as opposed to all 4?
