Separate or integrated license plate lighting on the motorcycle?

In the past, the configuration of license plates and taillights was the same for all motorcycles. The license plate was sitting in the middle of the rear shelter, the taillight protruded. When switching on the driving light, the taillight turned. A part of the light went down through a small window in the housing and illuminated the license plate. This solution was economical, but also had disadvantages. When the rear light fails, the license plate lighting on the motorcycle also darkened. Modern motorcycles therefore have separate lighting of the license plate. This also makes the positioning of the license plate more flexible. With many conversions of chopper and cruisers, the license plate is assembled on the side, for example. Complete solutions of license plate holders with integrated lighting are optimal here. The license plate lights are usually LED lamps today, as these offer ideal conditions for the license plate lighting.

In most cases, the lamp is installed above the license plate. This prevents rainwater from entering the housing. Lower lighting or two spotlights attached to the side are also permitted.
Even glowing license plates are particularly visible. These consist of a light box with integrated beams. The license plate is screwed on to this box.
