Which no plate light

Post by Mike Daytona600 »

I'm after a number plate led light to go on my undertray but it's got to be small. The one on there at the moment is on the bottom of the plate which means I've got a wire running down the plate. Where I would like to put one is on the undertray under the rear light but there isn't a lot of room (see picture). I DON'T want to sick it to the plate and would prefere not to have to drill any more holes in the undertray.

I saw one at work on a R1 which was like a strip of three leds but because I'm a numpty I didn't ask the customer where he got it.

Here's the best I've found so far but might be too long.

It's only really needed for the MOT, best to have one just incase.

I bought: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LED-NUMBERPLATE-L ... dZViewItem

Works fine...although seems to have stopped working with all the bad weather, I'll worry about it Oct time :) Shame, it was very small and seemed pretty well built.

I aint got one either, passes the MOT every time. I think if your rear light lights it up enough then its no prob and by the looks of it you'd be ok :wink:
