i've seen people use them light up bolt things that go where your bolt for the number plate is suppose to go. that's the easiest option i think. just coonect it to the existing wiring of the number plate light

the light up bolts are legal, but are illegal if their use is for lighting up the number plate only
i know, i have this and i got a £30 fine for having no rear number plate light
but ive only been pulled over once for it, so thats once in 6-7 months i dident bothing getting it sorted
i think i was just unlucky, ive only just got home after being followed by the police for a mile

yes they are illegal! you would need to find a way off pointing the light off the bolt down the number plate rather than straight out the back of the car if u know what i mean. i used a number plate light from durite an its ok

if your numberplate aint lit up enough then you should really be asking yourself are the headlights on the car behing actually on cos that should be enough reflection for them to read it! fuck the light you dont need it!

Me stubbsy and Jaffa have number plates lights off a sierra/grananda etc - cost £2.50 from a scrappies for 2 and cause my plate si in a deep recess I only needed one - simple to wire, just make surte when u go to the scrappies u cut off the light and the connector block on the wiring loom, then its a dead simple job - plus theyre small and effective at there job

mine
stubbsys
Jaffas - shrewws corsas now
just to show how slimline and unnoticable they r - and theyre cheaper than the bolts - and at the end of the day they were designed to light a plate - Jaffas has 2 mine and stubbsys have 1
