+1 on the trailer lights. That's what I'm using. Went shopping at Princess Auto, they have a lot of different shapes and sizes. Most come in both LED and bulb. The LED one I got is super bright too.

what is that license plate bracket bolted to?...kinda hard to see.
The plate bracket started out as a piece of scrap angle somethingorother (I think it was an engine lift bracket bolted to the intake from my old Dodge truck I swapped the engine on...I honestly don`t remember)
The part that the lic plate mount to started life as an unused tool caddy thing from my job (I`m an auot mech) it was originally designed to hang off of one of the legs of an auto lift so you can have tools etc handy/close by. I used the part circled in red for the plate mount.

do you think it would be possible to cut the red plastic part of the light so the profile would be thinner? i know the original CB brake lights have the reflector that would need to be cut also.
i like the look of your light just dont want one that sticks out very far.
