Default License Plate light

I am putting my F4 back together after getting it repainted the original colors. I put an undertail on it that I got off of Ebay and now I am trying to figure out, how to light the plate. The undertail, has a slot in it about 1" wide and 5" long that a light could be placed into, but of course, where would you find that light? Another option, is if the bottom of the tail light lense was clear, it would show through that slot and onto the plate. Is there such a lense available? If so, from where? This is not an uncommon undertail, so somebody has probably found a way to light the plate. Any help?

You can just get a thin strip of mini LED lights from Advanced auto for $10 and put it up in that slot. They are BRIGHT!!! Thats probably the easiest and cheapest way ro go.

Check out http://www.superbrightleds.com

They have a LOT of cool LED stuff on their site (not to mention, I buy all my LED's from them, and not once have I been dissapointed.

There is alot of options at that web site. I will also drive over to Advance Auto since they are close. You know how it is getting things together again. I am a man on a mission.

You can also get a license plate frame that has a light built into it. Some of those are pretty cheap.

Check e-bay.

Dang. Blue Fox. I see just what I want and need. But, they have a $25 min. order. http://www.superbrightleds.com/specs/mcm.htmThis appears to be PERFECT.
I went shopping todayat Advance Auto,Radio Shack, plus a hobby store, thinking they may have something for the model train people. I am looking for white or clear lamps and all I could find were colored ones.
