Default Softbrake install question
I'm just about to order the Softbrake license plate relocation kit for my Deluxe and one part I'm confused about is how I illuminate the license plate at night...

I'm assuming I need to purchase another part, but I'm not sure what works best?

Any help would be appreciated

I bought a Radiantz LED plate bracket for around $30. Works great, I love it.
