M35A2 licence plate lights

[Lenny]

I'm getting my recently acquired 71 Kaiser road worthy and I realized that there is no license plate light. I was just wondering what some of you guys have done to provide this. I'm sure that I can find something at a place like Autozone that would work after changing the lamp, but I'd like it to look like it "belongs" there if you know what I mean. Thanks, Lenny

I solved the plate illumination problem by keeping the plate in the glove box.

It is available upon request...haven't had any requests yet

Got a plate bracket with light from Napa.
Mounted it on the rear left splashguard up high under the bed.
Changed the bulb and wired it to the tail lamp.

Oh for good measure sprayed some OD on it to cover the black.

That's what I do, too.

I think it was Ferroequinologist who told me in that in SC, if the manufacturer didn't make a place to display the license plate, you don't have to display it (but have to have it).

Summit Racing sell a pair of license plate bolts. The head of the bolt has a small light in it. The wires are routed through the center of the bolt, so all you see is the head of the bolt on the lic. plate side. They are about $22 for the pair. Very clean installation.

A quick search of license plate brought this up:

I have the license plate mount and lights from Those Military Guys, easy to mount and works great

I used the number plate light assembly from a pre 60s car. Just changed the bulb, Looks in keeping painted green. It is mounted on the mudgaurd and wired to the rear light.

This is what I did on both my deuce and M105

Here's what I did for a tag light.

I have no idea what it's off of, I just had it laying around. I replaced the bulb with a 24V one and tied it to the tail lights. It mounts with the top tag bolts.

I used the license plate light from Erik's, painted it green, and tied it into the adjacent tailight service light.

That's a lot of great ideas guys. Thanks a bunch. Lenny
