Question:
For a spare tire holder in the etrailer hitch, does etrailer sell an assembly to offset the rear license and how about a light to go with it to satisfy police?

Expert Reply:
If you want to relocate your license plate while using the spare tire carrier the only option would be to make one. You could mount the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light w/ Bracket # LPL55CB on the carrier.
Then for power, you can use a trailer end connector like the # HM48110 to power the light on the license plate bracket. If you don't already have a 4-way you would also need the # 118467. The black wire on the light will connect to the brown wire which is the running lights, and then match the white wire on both for the ground.
