To OP. Cannot see it in your posted picture, but if the one you have bought is the version with 6 ordinary LEDs, I would not even bother installing it. You will get a blue'ish light, and fair chance that some of those 6 LEDs quickly will die. I'm not the only one who had that experience. Much better to install a WIPAC LED number plate lamp, 4 high quality Cree LEDs with crisp warmer white light. It is available on ebay from MPS trading, link below. It is a few years ago now, but I remember it was an easy install on the standard plinth.

"I think we can put this to bed now and move on" Shame, I was enjoying this thread. CarMan, I certainly think you've taken the easy way out, there was loads more mileage in wondering how to get the Bearmach fitted. Monsieur Le Grenadier I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list..... 2011 Puma 110DC - Corris Grey |

but the story hasn't ended yet.
The supplier WildCat have just said they will send me the Wipac lamp after comparing them and finding the bolts are twice as long I'd call that excellent customer service |

Can anyone tell me what size bolt I would need to fit the light without the plinth? LR workshop just calls the original an M5 bolt but as it's not threaded all the way I'd rather get a new one that fits rather than cutting down the original.
TIA |
