    I used sheet metal screws. I ordered that trailgear license plate holder when I ordered my rear bumper. But only the bumper showed up so I told them to keep the holder and give me my money back.

    So it seems some states don`t require a license plate light .

    Here in Pa need one .

    I just mounted mine to my rack that protects the rear window

    These are good ideas. I had contemplated using screws but never thought about zip ties lol... I guess if your plate hits something it wont get as damaged...

    I like the idea of the license plate holder, but i feel like it will just look more clunky than anything. I think Im going with the screws.

    You won't see the holder. Only the light above it.

    That being said, planning a TG rear for the 1st gen. Probably use zip ties this time.

    Thank you very much for posting this. I may consider it...just for the light...I am planning on traveling and may need it.
    It is legal in Tennessee to not have a light as far as i know.
