zentime Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 This was a pretty easy and inexpensive change. Just remove the stock licence plate bracket/light and reflecter and bolt the new light it in the same place the reflector was. I spray painted it with a matt black to match the plastic. I like the look much better than the stock licence plate setup. I got the licence plate light at my local auto parts store for about $7 Here is the company that makes them http://www.pmlights.com/ go to products then licence plate & utility lights model v434 zen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhawkxx Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Clean look. What kind of tire is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy1100 Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 I did the same thing....but I cut out the bottom lens of the tail light and put in a clear lens made from a cd case. Wish I'd have thought about that little light...would have saved me a lot of time..Good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBRXX Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 I did the same as Andy. I popped out that red plastic cover, used it as a template, and trimmed a CD case to fit. Used clear silicone adhesive to attach. You need a large elastic and a few small blocks of wood or something to hold it in place while the adhesive sets, as there is a slight curve to the bottom of the lens. Steve Here's a pic. Sorry for poor quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vetteman Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 instead of cutting a cd case you can use a 2"x4" clear plastic welding lens cover. you can pick them up for next to nothing at most hardware or auto parts stores where welding or cutting equip is sold. they fit great with just a little light trimming. mine looks pretty much like steve's except i cut up a little higher into the plate so the plate is hanging. replacing the reflector with a small lic plate light is a great idea, since it doesnt get brighter when you brake. very cool. :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zentime Posted April 11, 2003 Author Share Posted April 11, 2003 Joe wins the door prize and gets an "EXTRA SPECIAL" ride at NEXXT for identifying the tire...........one sharp dude!! spEEdfrEEk, hookman49, eliXXir........thanks spEEdfrEEk, not muh more I can tell you. Once you have the new light in hand and the old one off, it's pretty obvious. It only took about 15 min to do it. I'll post a side view in the next day or 2 blackhawkxx, thanks and Joe is right.......Vredestein XXFirefighter :-) DBLXX........depends on how I behave :-) for the curious, more pictures at http://members.aol.com/blackbirdezs/Index.html xrated........cool, give us the details zen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
