Question Deluxe Tombstone Tail light for relocated Plate

There was a Thread yesterday on useing a Softbrake Lic. plate relocation kit on a deluxe, it looked great but they said the light for the plate had to be worked out. Looked at mine(07 Deluxe) said got to do the same but my question is I do not want the normal fix with light in or on lic.frames; has any one ever saw a Tombstone replace len/ light with Lic. light on bottom instead of top trying hard to keep a stock look.

my buddy just installed them on his sporty ..he went with limp dick tail light and used the bolt lights you mentioned and it looks fine ..actually is brighter than my plate light..
as for tombstone once you relocate the plate then just cover top white plate lens with black paint or similat ..you can get old tombstones without plate light..could swap your guts to one of them ..

I did the softbrake conversion and they send you a new tombstone housing without the light in the top part of the housing--so it is all enclosed. I didn't add a light and to me its fine. The way the plate sits below it actually gets a little light from the tail light. Hope this helps.

Get the LED license plate holder. I went with the Softbrake conversion and
the LED plate holder. Lights up just fine. The conversion is one of the best things I've done to my bike.
