firstlude · Post by **firstlude** » Sat Dec 09, 2017 11:24 pm

having some spare time whilst doing lude things today thought i would fit my jdm rear number plate holder seems thats not the quick job i was hoping for

whats the deal with the number plate lights i see i am going to have to drill the mounting bolt holes as they are different , but the number plate lights have me a bit confused on my uk holder they attach to the holder but how do the jdm ones fit

as you can see in the pic no mounting points on the jdm holder

Have completely forgotten the detail difference after all these years...
From memory, the JDM plate lights fix to the bootlid itself (there are tapped studs hanging down).
The JDM bootlid itself is actually slightly different to a UKDM one, so you really need to swap it complete.

well i am going to drill the mounting holes so it sits right then see how its going to pan out from there , maybe i can fit some sort of compact led lights or even a strip to overcome the illumination , unless someone has some spare jdm lights going cheap
