license plate lights

I had a rear swing out tire carrier built by bentup. https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f88/rear-bumper-build-100081/ I haven't actually put a spare tire on it yet, but when I do, I'm going to have to relocate my license plate as it will be blocked by the tire. I'll also have to add some lights. I want to use these style of lights, but I have been unable to locate a supplier. Anyone know where I can order a couple online? The place that this photo is from is a Chinese distributor, and I only want to buy a couple lights, not 1000.

Another option are the Lite 'n-Boltz. I used these on my old bumper and liked them a lot. Cheap too.

I used a lighted frame like this for my swing out carrier:



I picked up a few extra, they run about $35.00.

how far out does the light stick? I'm wanting something low profile because it's probably going to end up on the front of a jerry can holder....it looks like yours is about 1/2" or so, so that should do the trick.

The light part sticks out about 2" from the frame the way it is set up. Could probably be cut down somewhat.
