Where is everyone mounting their license plate on the rear of the Rhino? Where are you guys wiring the light into the Rhino?
Thanks, Ryan

I have a rear bumper on mine. I bought on of these. http://www.everythingoffroad.com/ (or something real similar) and found a hot wire underneath that ran to my tail lights and tapped into that.

I'm not sure whey that link did not work, but if you go there to the Rhino section and look into the billet items, you will see an LED frame.

Tailgate to the left of the Y. Peel the skin on the inside of the gate back and countersink while thru bolting. I think it looks pretty trick.

sounds like it would look good but then you have to run wiring through the tailgate because the plate must be lighted. That would not be fun.

The tail gate is not solid plastic (kind of honeycombed). When you pull off of the left rear light you can shrink wrap the wires and enter on the bottom of the gate. It was not so bad and has held up well, out of the way, and does not require a bumper mount. I do not have any pics - I did this when I put a full blinker kit on it so I do not have to use hand signals. (that was a pretty cool project as well). I will have to post pics and parts - peeps on here might be interested.

I got one from Walts and although it was outrageous it was well thought out. It mounted to two original bolt holes that looked like they were designed just for It, plate is under the bed left side, came with a wiring kit that just inserted between the oiginal wiring plugs, even has a little LED lite, very neat and tidy!! I liked the looks and again it was easy if I could do it:D :D NSF

This is a L.E.D. license plate I got on my 06 Rhino SE. Works great. Went to Ace hardware and got 2 tube mounting brackets.

I have that same frame. Good idea on the mounting location and easy to do.
Thanks, Ryan
