Any WHY would you want to do something as stupid as that??? Yes, it's illegal, and yes, it's a dumb question!
So if someone is driving at night and they rearend you and hurt you and some of your occupants, then they turn the license plate light off so they can make a quick getaway and you cannot identify the vehicle or owner...then what??? Or...same question, but they hit a pedestriain which turns out to be a loved-one.

tkae off you back bumper, cut the negative wire in half. extend the two lines into the cabin of the car through the hatch and under the carpet to the desired location near you dash. hook the two lines onto a switch. when switched on, this will complete the circut and allow the negative charge to ground out making the light bulb light up. when off, the charge doesnt go anywhere and cannot pull electricity through the bulb
good luck, and it wont do anything but give a cop reason to stop you. also, with your relective tag it wont matter much. but have fun.

Re: lisence plate light

that is exactly why im doing it, so i can go around hitting people and hitting cars and take off.

fyi: 'tis illegal in ALL states. So I guess we'll all look forward to a cop bashing topic if and when you get caught...

I bought the fronts from ebay (new) a few years ago, but I don't remember the sellers ID. The rear's I recently bought from a member here. Again, I don't know the brand name. The rear's were used, but in grear condition.

Re: lisence plate light

the license plate light isnt that bright. and if any light at all hits it it reflects. mine bulb was out for a while til a cop say me at a party while i was pulling up and used it as an excuse to stop me and check out the party. the only thing the light will do is let a cop know that you have a license plate, from a distance, and maybe whta state your from.

Yes, but to keep them legal I had to install amber bulbs behind the clear lenses.
I know it's basically a theory, but since the front corners were such a pita to remove, I bought the Long Life Replacement Bulbs. They were a bit more than the regular bulbs, but once you take the corners out and reinstall, you don't ever want to do them again! Some say that the long life bulbs are a waste of money, but I didn't want to take the chance.
