Tapping into number plate 12v
« on: June 02, 2015, 12:46:06 pm »
Hi all.

Im wondering how would one tap into the number plate 12v

Would I need to take the rear bumper off to find the wire or is it possible to find the wire somewhere in the boot?

Unscrew/Pull the light unit out?

I guess that is one way but not sure how i would run a wire into it through the boot.

Im trying to grab a 12v feed from the number plate lights to power up my inner rear light mod I've made.
