    Thanks, you should look onto getting a commission on all the sales you are generating for lights. You sold me. Thanks again.

    Plate readers don’t need light they
    Have IR cameras so even if your bulbs don’t work the camera will still read the tag, fyi.

    Make sure you transfer the outside bezel from your old license plate lights to the new ones. I’m not sure that I see it on your new ones

    take a look at my install pics. When you remove the housing, there is a rubber piece on the back that needs to be removed from the factory housing, and placed on the new one.
