License Plate Light

Anyone have ideas on lighting for a fiberglass bumper without pads? I remember someone using a bmw part, but I can't seem to pull it up on a search. Thanks.

A number of people have used the bolts with lights in them.

I had a similar project, and I was able to successfully use motorcycle LED bolts. You can do a search on the web and find a different variety of styles from chrome colored to black colored.

Below is a photograph of my chrome colored ones on my car they are actually much better than the OEM units that came with the car

I think you mean these, I like the look better than the led lights. I found them at some BMW parts place, sorry don't remember where. I still need to install them....

Wow, never seen those bolt LEDs. It looks like I have a couple options. That BMW light is similar to the one I saw. I want to say it was black. Maybe it was a from a old Volvo. I must be getting old, I'm losing my memory! Thanks again.
