Going off subject, does the plate frame get in the way of the tailgate?Wow, those bulbs are really bright for your license plate. They look like they’d be great for cargo lights or something but my Lariat has them, I don’t know if XLT’s do.
Thats an old dealer frame that did VERY badly. I since purchased the thinnest frame I could find and yes it still did come in contact with the tailgate. But I trimmed a bit of the license plate and frame with a dremel to lower them both a tiny bit and now everything clears.Going off subject, does the plate frame get in the way of the tailgate?

I noticed that my dealer frame did when the tailgate was fully open. I thought it odd but it was a quick fix to just remove the frame.Going off subject, does the plate frame get in the way of the tailgate?
Reminds me of a song..Just installed these replacement led housings from good ol' eBay and I feel like they're almost too bright? I might slightly tint them.Truck is pretty dirty I know.
Good idea! Mine hit too so I removed the frame. I wanted to get a couple plate covers but I didn't want them to touch the tailgate but now I might try this.Thats an old dealer frame that did VERY badly.

You really have to trim just a tiny bit, not much at all, go slow.Good idea! Mine hit too so I removed the frame. I wanted to get a couple plate covers but I didn't want them to touch the tailgate but now I might try this.
The DD's are 56 lumens - twice the factory bulbs - I could give up a little of that brightness to not interfere with the backup camera at night...Wow, those bulbs are really bright for your license plate.
I went with Diode Dynamics 194 HP3 from Panda, think they were $8 a pair.
