I am going to buy a Whelen License Plate bracket for my 2004 Explorer. I will be using whelen Lin3 lights.


Do you recommend a Horizontal or a Verticle bracket?


I am assuming I will have to drill 2 holes into my Explorer for wire routing. Any tips for that?


Thanks

^What he said. Linear lights are designed to be mounted horizontally because the optics spread the light out over a wide area and if you would them vertically, a lot of the light gets wasted.
