    I did some fender chopping and wondered if I need to rig up a light for the plate. Any BC guys have any experience with the law on this?

    License Plate Light

    What a lot of us did was chop the fender, remove the old light (use circuit for other things) and take the center light lens out. Cut a recatangular hole out of the red bottom, and replace it with clear plastic, glued in. It now lights the plate adequately.

    Just another great idea from the vifferisti.

    I did about the same thing you did here but I used an LED plate lite - check my gallery.

    +1 did the same on my '00 800. It even has a removeable panel on the bottom of the lens. That was the first thing I did. It hung way too far. Much cleaner this way.

    Thanks for the ideas, gentlemen. Those LED bolts look like the way to go.


    Happy Holidays!

    May there be farkles under your tree

    laws ame most every where..BC also requires a light...I did the same thing..But on m7y 00, I took the tailight out ..cut a hole in the bottom, glued a small piece of clear over the hole..the tail light now shines enough down thru the clear to light the plate..very simple lookin..not sure on your model tho...
