Thread: Where to get a lighted 29-39 license plate frame?

Tweet

Looking for something w/ a built-in light to fit a 1932 vintage plate. I have no room for an external mount light like a Lobecks.
I've searched until my fingers bled.
Anyone know of a source?

Speedway has some different license plate lights, have you looked there?

Yep. Checked Speedway.
About the only thing I can find are chrome frames, no light.
The lighted bolts are not my cup of tea.

Theme? Something 60's hot rod.
The frame on there in pic is for a standard size plate, not a 32.

Now that you've put up a pic we can see what your limitations are. By the "Lobeck" light I presume it's a knockoff of the "hollywood" style that mounts above the plate? How about twisting your thinking a bit. Back in the era you want to emulate there were also lights mounted to the side. You might have to fabricate a backer panel for behind the plate (aluminum, steel, whatever works for you) with a couple "wings" to mount the light units to.
Here are a few examples;

And with some searching you can find many more styles.

Or, there's this motorcycle unit that could be very clean, mount two, one on either side; http://www.customdynamics.com/illumi...nce_plates.htm
the one nearly halfway down the page identified as "vertical".

Wound up making my own. Cut the light off the old frame, contoured it to fit the chrome steel frame.
