Replace number plate lights

My original 5 LED unit only had one left working, so replacing it.

Bolt LEDs units for under £5 from China, I made some simple brackets from PETG offcuts left over from the Wind Deflectors, these will stick behind the plate rather than bolt through it to avoid any issues of making the plate less readable.

They wire into the original number plate lamp on the rear panel, which is still in place.
I still may re-visit the wiring route...

I should be all set for MOT now, perhaps after Stoneleigh.

Update - both of these failed by April 2019 - 2 years life, possibly because they were mounted facing up any water sitting in the LED.
