Default Plate light?

I cut my rear fender to just have the plate, like Mark, but the the signals are still on. I'll be getting some turn signals that mount on the plate, and I wanna know a good way to light my plate. Someone has a cheap LED system that is supposed to mount to the plate with double-sided tape for $20, which is tacky, like the Wal-Mart interior LED spotlight thing I've seen, and more expensive. I was hoping there was a plate bracket with LEDs built in for a clean look. Anyone know if this exists? I may just go without, since I don't drive around past sundown much, really. So I would just go without until the next driving season, since there isn't much time left for this season.

Just get the side pod sockets and bulbs. Would look a lot cleaner IMO.

I did that. I'm not too sure how well it lights for the place it is right now. I should've looked last night after the movie.

I also noticed my low beam is burned out. Maybe my van headlight will switch over, not sure if I wanna do that, though. (Yes, I have H4s on my Asstro. I just ordered some bulbs to go in, $5 shipped for a pair from overseas. Jeez, that's cheap. At least I have two for when one burns out!)

I got the plate turn signals tonight and hooked up. Not quite as bright as the factory ones, but cleaner. And when I get my clear corners and lights for the back, I'll be all set with plenty of light. I ordered my front and rear signals before I ordered my levers, mirrors and all that, but got them before the signals. They're coming over from Asia, so I hope they arrive soon, then I'll have all my important upgrades done!
