   Hey guys
   
   Just wondering how you would light this rear number plate?
   Wanted to get my boot done the same as Jodie's, but cant work out how its lit
   
   
   
   
   
   I know you can get bolts that have lights in so when screwed in they light up, but wanted to get it done without screwing holes in the plate lol
   
   Any ideas?
   Cheers

   Thats what i was thinking but youd have to drill a hole for the wires?
   
   Wiring it up to the light switch shouldnt be too much hassle though

    isnt the original number plate lights underneath that little smoothed off panel? as i was going to do similar to mine. i think FisherVTS has got them aswell iirc

    Yeah just posted on fishers thread
    
    Thats what i thought but they're quite bulky so would stand out?

    could you not smooth it so that the bit above the number plate is slightly lower on the front edge? - i'm not sure if that makes sense
    
    Then glue the strip to the back of that edge?
    
    it sounds ok in my head ... but i dont think i conveyed it too well, haha
