Default SUV- Rear Spare Is Off... best way to finish job

Here's some pics of what I'm left with. This was a factory rear mount, so there is no light where the license plate space is...

I figure for the 3rd bolt hole in the bumper, and the big hole where the plate light wiring came through I could just get a black rubber plug to plug it.

Any suggestions on a light for the OEM plate mount and or bumper hole fixes?

Ok.. so...

the dealer wants just over 400.00 for the OEM chrome piece that goes along the top of the OEM plate location.

Then it will have to be wired up, drilled, etc..

Anyone have any other ways they could share?

Hi mount your plate in the trailer hitch if you don't tow and plug into the trailer plug in the bumper for the light or on the bumper with a lic. plate light and cover the holes from the removed tire rack. lf you don't you will have to run the wire back up inside the rear hatch. Maybe the plate light wire is already in the hatch but you will have to remove the hatch inside panel to see if its there.

Thanks.. I've seen the hitch mount, but I use it too much to mount a plate there.

I've also seen the plate in the 3rd bolt hole that is left over from the tire carrier.... been tossing that one around.

I really like the idea of locating it where it was meant to be. Thanks for the suggestion of checking for the plate wiring there.... that would make it much easier.

I'm waiting on a camera and the lock pic video box to show up and then I will have the Viper smart start/camera system installed. I'll know what's under the rear hatch at that point......

Sounds like this might be unchartered territory...

Orr.....

Take the plate light assembly from your old spare tire mount an retrofit it to fit inside of your rear door pocket. (Its not just the chrome piece you are buying for $400....Its the whole plastic pocket.)

You should be able to pull out your existing door pocket and cut holes in it for the lights to shine through. I would just use epoxy to fit it to your door pocket from the inside.

On the rear bumper you are going to need factory tow hooks to finish off the job. And you are pretty much stuck with the holes in the rear bumper that are left over.... However I may be selling my whole rear bumper soon..... I also might have a line on some tow hooks if you are interested.

I think I'll just end up plugging the hole in the bumper with a rubber plug... that won't bother me too much.

The tow hooks I might take you up on... I've got a couple people interested in my OEM rear tire carrier, which has the hook attachments so the buyer would give me theirs, but if that falls through and I'm ready I'll need them. I hate to buy them though, when I can get them in the OEM tire carrier deal.

I just got the back up cam.. and it's slick. However, I think I'm going to have to have the OEM pocket with the light for it all to work properly.
