The license plate
needs to be reinstalled, this is an eyeball thing. Hold the license up and get a
mark where the it needs to go. You can eyeball or measure where the holes from
the lower part of the stock mount are going to land, from there move these marks
about 1/8” to the right of the plate. At this time it would be good to take some
paint able latex chalk and fill the upper license plate mounting holes, use a
minimal amount. After this dries, use your touch up paint and a small brush
and touch up the chalk. Back to
the license plate, I used a 2” piece of tubing and worked the license plate so
the curve matched the curve of
the tub. Turn the license plate over clean it with some brake cleaner or
something like that. Then apply some strips of weather striping, rubber with a
sticky back. If you put three strips vertically and two strip horizontally it
should work good. Then use two of the bolts from the stock plate holder to mount
it back to the tub.
We are there, as long as you installed both wiring harnesses. You should be done.

The rest of the parts needed I had so there was no need to buy them.
A final thought; the 4” LED’s I purchased have a white back ground, I have heard some people say you can get them with a black back ground. If you can order them that way (it wouldn’t be the part number I gave you), I would suggest that you do so. The white back ground tend to wash out the lights in bright sun light.
Enjoy……
