Which plate frame is that? I've been looking at the HD one that has the radius but was told it is for SG and won't fit a 12 RK. Thinking of buying it and trying it out. Any info you have is appreciated

I see the open spot in my service manual. It's just above the tail lamp multilock connector. Can I just get a connector for the 2 wires from a dealer? Just plug and play?

Do you see the solid blue wire right next to the plastic sheathing leading into the connector? You have to splice one of the wires from the plate bracket in to that lead, the other is ground. Call Radiantz, they will tell you which wire from the plate is hot.

Look at the pic below.

I cut the plastic sheathing (with the numbers on it) along the length of the wire bundle. Peel it back, you will put it back on the bundle. Splice and solder the hot wire from the plate into that blue wire (put shrink tubing on before of course).

Then replace the plastic sheathing and wrap it in electrical tape.

Looks good Slider, I like it. It's too bad RKC's didn't come stock this way.
