Accord rear license plate bulb holder?

Normally, laws only say that the rear plate must be illuminated and
unobscured at night. Laws usually do not specify how that light ought to be
supplied, or where the source needs to be located.




Dealer-only for the proper part.

Not sure how yours is constructed, but you may have a bit of a
less-than-fun time drilling-out rusted screws, etc.

If cheap-and-easy is your goal, you may be better-off rigging something
with nylon ties and a generic socket from AutoZone.

<off topic... sort of>

Back in the '90's I fabricated and installed a "Rear Plate Light
Enhancement Accoutrement" on a 3Gee Accord 5 Door. It almost looked
factory. It was fabricated from galvanized sheet metal carefully measured
and bent. Inside it had high quality chrome tape (to reflect the the stray
light). On the outside it had high quality vinyl tape (used by pro sign
makers), which I worked and burnished to look like the factory satin-black
plastic panel. Upside was it reflected the stray plate light back onto the
plate. Downside was that it just cut off the last and first plate number
for the 'Photo Speed Radar' (Prov. of Ont.)  camera (the camera took photos
at a 35 degree angle or something, and at a distance of 50 ft. or
something). Such a shame. Maybe I could have spent more time and worked on
the angles better!

Many flashbulbs went off in the rear view mirrors... but no tickets came
in the mail!
