I also used the lug nut lights from delta, but had trouble getting them to stay in the lug nut holes. I also didnt like that I would have to remove/reinstall them every time I rotate my tires or need to use my spare...so i cam up with this solution...works great and I dont have to remove/reinstall them every time the spare is removed!

[QUOTE=Muleskinner527;2135819]Heres mine.....free....
I wish I knew about this before I bought my lights...thats a great idea! Got any better pics with the light lit through the rim? How did you mount that?[/QUOT
Thanks...I'll try to take a couple better shots tonight...It needs to be about 1" shorter to be ideal ...First..I cut the light bar to the lenght i thought it needed to be...I cut out a perfect amount of space for the light bar to fit into the tire carrier...put some 3M tape behind light bar..when I tightened the tire carrier on...it made it a snug secure fit....no rattles....light bar hangs about 1" below top of tire carrier...took about 45 min..didnt have a plan ...just started cutting...PM me if you want any closer pics and a more detailed explanation...

Like I said before, I bought the Off Road license relocate bracket shown on first page. I like the relocation to the spare off the side of the rear. I also got the light that mounts over the plate and acts like a license plate light and rear led red brake light.
However, I think it would be a cleaner install to use the lights shown on the bottom of this website...h t t p://www.customdynamics.com/illuminatorz_licence_plates.htm
They shine down on the plate, have rear red lights for brake, and are the bolts to hold the plate on the relocation kit. Just another idea. These are about $30 - bout the same as the lights from Northridge...
