License plate light

[Z71]

Cops here in Florida are stopping motorists with non functional license plate lights. I do not have any on my deuce, as it is a military vehicle. I used a galvanized bracket from a marine store to mount the license plate between the two bumperettes in the back but I do not have a license plate light. As long as I do not drive the truck at night, I am OK. However, I would like to add a license plate light to be on a safe side. Anybody has a good idea how to make one of those?

you can just buy a cheap 12 volt set up from napa or were ever and throw in a 24 volt bulb. then just wire it in to your tail lights using a water proof connector of any type. thats all there is to it

Search the site as it has been covered a few times, in one of the threads I posted about the light set up I did. Don't forget which of the many it was in right now.

I would get 24 v led light and wire it in.

The link titled "I tagged Bert" has my setup listed. It is on page 2.

I didn't wire it up yet, but I got 2 licencse plate lights from tractor supply, they are each 12 volt, I'm going to mount them side by side and just wire them in series off of the driver side tail light. It should work just fine in theory

I'm currently working on making a removable lighted license plate holder that mounts onto the trailer connector on the back of the deuce.... That way, when you are in a show, or something where you don't want your truck's appearance marred by a civy license plate, you just unplug the license plate.
