Looks interesting but how/where will you fit it?

Under the rear light housing or actually on the number plate or bracket?

Not sure I like the references to Saxos and Clios though :smt011

Should be simple to fit through the undertray aft of the plate bracket.

I've had 2 MOT's now with a total absence of a number plate light. Just depends who you go to. Last one even let me keep my Renegades on !

On a plate. It directs the light at 90 deg to it's axis. It looks good, and no drilling in your Falco needed :smt001

Yes I get the impression these are designed for use on cars in place of the number plate bolts ??

There is nowhere on my super- tidy- tail for this other than actually attached to the number plate or to the undertray.

My current light is on the undertray shining straight back onto the No. plate. It actually does a good job of illuminating the plate as opposed to just being present for legal reasons.
