number plate lights

[quez]

Need a light for my number plate asap since i've got mot coming up and the boot has been smoothed, are there any cars which have a box type light (ie. not underneath the boot catch like a standard saxo) or light that's attached on the bumper so i can get one from a scrapyard? Or alternatively anywhere that sells a box type light I can get hold of quickly (not ebay). I don't want bolt lights since my numberplate is stuck on not screwed, thanks.

k i've got a light now, what's the easiest way to wire it up so it can be taken off again?

well use the existing wiring, it needs to be wired into the sidelights so either that or the rear sidelights mte easy to do splice into the live for sidelights and earth it :y:
