Convert 3rd Brake Light Into License Plate Light?
Has anyone converted the 3rd brake light into a license plate light to attach to something like the Vector license plate mount or any of the sort.
I've seen kits out there such as the ORO License Plate Light, but since the wires and everything is already there couldn't you just convert what's there?

Here is what I did. Just bought a cheap-o tag light from the local auto parts store sanded it down and bedlined. Driill some 1/8" holes and pop rivet it on there, then one hole to snake the wires through. Pull the tag wires out from the harness on the driver's side and extend and re-route under the carpet and put them in via the 3rd brake light grommet. Can't use the 3rd BL wires as they are only on when the brakes are applied.
