For those that are running an aftermarket rear bumper/tire carrier, what are you using for a license plate light? I like the look of the GenRight.

Any opinions on the best way to wire it?

I have this one from autozone because it was the only one I could find and I needed it asap. It's kind of a pos and the chrome part is grounded to the wiring some how so I had to make sure it didn't touch metal by putting electrical tape on it.


It works though. I put a hole in the hatch for the wire and wired it to the factory license plate light. I mounted the license plate on a plastic mount thing that I also bolted to the hatch.

That's the exact same one I am using also..........It was cheap, but it works ok.............One of the LED lights inside mine blinks sometimes........I'm looking at other options for some time when I decide to change to a different light...........I'll probably leave it on until it fails

Are you gonna mount the plate inside the spare or just stick on the back somewhere?

Maybe it will reappear one of these days.

Our rock lights would be a great option for your plate lights!

Any trailor/tractor supply house will have a license plate bracket on hand, $10-15 tops.

My setup is from Ares Fab and looks a lot like this. The license plate is inside the spare so it's a little trickier since it swings open. If it were just relocated on the tailgate it'd be a little easier.

Mine is still in the stock location no one ever bothers me.

I ran this one on my last xj. I did add a sealer around it though. That was one thing people mentioned on the reviews. Also ran the wires from my existing light in the hatch.
