This Crown Automotive rear license plate bracket with lamp is for those of you that have a
2007 to 2018 JK that need to replace your factory license plate holder.
This is going to do the exact job of the factory one, look factory, function factory.
But it's going to be a little bit cheaper than going directly back to your dealership
to get a replacement.
Now, Jeep built this in kind of a bad spot.
If you wanna take your Jeep off road or even if you just park in a tight parking lot, this
is hanging off the side of the Jeep.
Oftentimes, they get hit, they get cracked, broken.
Maybe yours has lasted and it's just faded, and you're going over some of the plastic
pieces on the outside of your Jeep to give the Jeep a refreshed look.
Whatever the reason, this is going to be, again, something that looks, functions, does
everything just like a factory license plate holder, but at a lower price.
This is gonna be a very easy one-out-of-three-wrench installation.
We'll talk a little bit more about that in just a second.
This is a very fair price for a piece that does exactly what it's supposed to do.
As for construction, not a lot to say about this.
It's going to be a plastic piece that does look just like the factory piece does.
It has the lamp built right into it here, so you have your light.
It does have the plug here, so it'll plug right into your factory wiring harness.
You don't have to do anything weird there, no splicing, no soldering, nothing like that.
And it's just gonna hold your license plate, and it's gonna look just like a factory one,
but cheaper.
This rear license plate holder from Crown comes in at $20.
I think that's a very fair price for an option that includes the lamp and the plug.
Everything is there for you.
There are some other options out there.
[inaudible 00:01:29] they're a little bit less expensive, but they're not going to include
the light.
This includes everything, does what it's supposed to do, All for just $20.
Now, I'll have a member of the Install Team show you how you get this installed.
First step, we're gonna need to remove our license plate.
We're gonna use a flat-head screwdriver for that.
That way, we can access the license plate bracket.
So now, we're ready to remove our license plate bracket.
You're gonna have two screws up here, and you're actually gonna have two screws down
at the bottom.
Since our bracket is broken, we don't have those two screws down there.
So we're gonna use a 7-millimeter socket to take this off.
So after you get those two screws out, it's basically gonna be free.
You just need to pull it away and unplug it from the back side.
So to get this off, we need to pry up on this little locking tab.
After you do that, you'll be able to slide that off.
And that'll allow you to pull that away, and then disconnect it.
So we're gonna push in on that tab there, and then that'll unplug.
So before we switch to the new bracket, we're gonna need to take our license plate light
housing off.
So we're gonna go ahead and just squeeze these two tabs on the side.
And once we squeeze those together, that'll just pull out of there.
Then, we're gonna go ahead and twist our light, and then that'll come off.
So first step when we're installing this bracket, we're gonna need to replace this lens on the
new light bulb.
After that, we can push it back in, click it in place, and then we're ready to install
this on the Jeep.
So now that we have our light housing in, you're ready to plug this back in and then
screw it back onto the vehicle.
After you get your two top screws in, you're ready to install your lower screws.
These are a little bit trickier.
So the fourth screw is a little hard to see.
It's actually right under here.
And if you have an aftermarket bumper, it's a little hard to get to.
However, I'm gonna get that last one in, and then we'll get our plate back on.
So once you have all four of your screws in, you're ready to put your license plate back
on.
So you're just gonna slide this back and under, and then we're gonna go under these back tabs
here.
And then, we're gonna put our screw back in.
So with everything tightened up, that wraps up our review and install.
