Default L.E.D License Plate Illuminators

Wondering if anyone's installed these?

Whether you like them or not?

Were they easy or difficult to install?

If you have photos?

Why waste yours and my time? I've already tuned you out. You're just wanting to cause trouble and I'll
end up getting myself booted when I reply with an expletive filled (that means very naughty words) response.
I haven't complained to the MODS yet so just follow my lead and ignore me like I am trying to ignore you.
thanks.

Well said Pensa...some of these guys look to agitate and agrevate..Point in fact...when I read their posts I swear I can hear the song from deliverance softly playing in the background!! Ignore them. To your question when I did the relocation on my license plate I was going to go with something like that but went with a back lit license plate frame from Soft Brake. It has 6 LED's built in underneath the top side of the plate. Very well built, bright and looks good..easy to install. It was a bit pricey though.

I did the LED Tag Surround on mine and it was simple. I took a horizontal LED surround and turned it sideways so that it lights up the rear wheel as well. Wiriing was easy. If you are in Pcola, I am about 30 minutes west on 98. Ride over and I'll show ya.

I also mounted the heartland side mount on mine and the single led plate light was plenty bright...it mounted on one of the belt guard bolts and directs its light down to where the plate mount is mounted on the passenger peg mount...and continue ignoring certain others maybe they will go away or better yet grow up...
