Previous owner moved license plate below tail light by drilling two holes in fender to mount plate holder. I moved it back but now got two holes 4" apart. Don't have bucks to pull fender and fix / paint. Any ideas?

I'd put it back down, looks way better ( My opinion ), and then the holes become a non issue. Anything you try to do is gonna look odd.

Agreed, Short of bodywork or a fender overlay, best option would be to move the plate back to the holes

The thing is I don't like the plate below. I prefer it in stock location. Not sure of LEDs, might still look like face. However a single 2nd break light might work.
