License Plate Light
Anyone got any advise on how I can light up my license plate since the stock light was removed when fender plastic cut back. I'm hoping to find some kinda aftermarket rear brake light assembly which incorporates a license plate light since my plate is now directly beneath the tail light assembly.

Re: License Plate Light
I can't see what your tail looks like but you can find LED lights in pretty much any shape, size and color. They're ussually pretty easy to install and you can find some really bright ones. Make sure you look at them first though as some are as bright as a chesp night light.

I've heard you can drill holes under the brake light to allow illumination. Also look at www.targa-acc.com or www.customdynamics.com for custom lic plate led's.

Hi!
I have '98 Firestorm (euromodel) and it has a transparent downside in taillight! No separate licence plate light...(will post a pic soon...)
Don't know when that light went separate, though...I believe it's separate in newer models in here too!
Go search through ebay! I believe that taillights are interchangeable between different years...

Re: License Plate Light
I altered my stock tail light to light up my plate. I used a dremal tool to cut out 80% or so of the flat area on the underside of the tail light. Cut a piece of clear plastic from a CD jewel case to fit and clear RTVed it in place.
