Default License plate light

Does the tail light light up the license plate or is there a seperate light for that. Anyone got a pic of the license plate bracket because I am going to have to make one.

thanks

The stock LP light is separate from the tail/stop light. Don't have the LP bracket anymore, Competion Works Fender Eliminator (which actually uses the stock LP light to illuminate the LP).

Ya I don't care but in Va I have to get an inspection because the bike was salvaged. don't want to fail because of this.

Anyone got a pic of where the light is located. if it's seperate from the tail light where is it mounted? I have never seen my bike in one piece. I got all the hard stuff fixed.

You can buy one of those small led's that mount to the license plate, just face it the direction of the plate and wire it up.

I have my plate mounted right under my tail light and the running light from the tail light is plenty to keep it visible. If you really want a white light on it to keep it illuminated then just wire up one parallel with the running light for the tail light. heres a pic of where mine is mounted. My uncle is a cop and he said it is fine the way it is as long as its visible.

Thanks for the pic looks good! I think I will just go with the tail light as the plate light. How is the bracket for the plate mounted? I was thinking of going to home depot and buying some hardware but I really don't want to drill into the tail piece.

thanks again

I just drilled two holes into the plate and screwed it straight into the plastic undertail with some wood screws, Sorry i dont have a picture of it without the plate on, If you can not screw it in right there go to lowes/HD/Ace and pick up a long piece of metal that is about 1inch wide by 1/8 or 1/4 inch thick, its really easy to work with and makes nice mounting brackets for anything, just have to be a little creative.
