On this note....

A few years ago, I bought a license plate frame from JC Whipme that had an
integrated light for the license plate. They also had a model that also
included a 3rd brake light. I wanted to buy one for my Crew Cab, but they no
longer exist in the JC Whitney catalog. Has anybody seen one of these
illuminated license plate frames in their local parts house or a catalog?
Either with or without the 3rd brake light would interest me.

I have found a few "kewl, cast billet" aluminum framed models at various
sited on the 'net, but they all want about $70!!!

Thanks,
