How to Install a License Plate Projector

What is a License Plate Projector

A license plate projector replaces the factory license plate light and projects a crisp pattern onto the ground behind your vehicle. Our vehicle-specific projectors use the original mounting position and factory connector for a clean, plug-and-play installation.

No drilling. No wiring modifications. Installation takes just a few minutes on most compatible vehicles.

Before Installation

Make sure your projector is compatible with your vehicle before installation.

You’ll need:

We recommend testing the projector before snapping it into the factory housing.

Step 1 — Remove the Factory License Plate Light

Locate the factory license plate light at the rear of the vehicle.

Insert a plastic trim tool at the retaining-clip side and gently release the factory light from its housing.

Avoid using excessive force or pulling on the wiring.

Step 2 — Disconnect the Factory Light

Pull the factory light out far enough to access the connector.

Press the connector release tab and disconnect the original light.

Hold the connector itself—do not pull directly on the wires.

Step 3 — Connect the New Projector

Connect the license plate projector directly to the factory connector.

No additional wiring is required for compatible plug-and-play models.

Make sure the connector is fully seated.

Step 4 — Test Before Installation

Before installing the projector into the housing, test it first.

Unlock the vehicle or activate the lighting system and check that:

If the image is upside down or reversed, correct the projector orientation before installation.

Step 5 — Install the Projector

Carefully tuck the connector and wiring back into the factory housing.

Align the projector with the original opening and gently press it into place until it is secure.

The projector should sit cleanly and flush with the surrounding trim.

Step 6 — Final Test

Test the projector again after installation.

Depending on the vehicle and projector model, the projection may activate when the vehicle is unlocked, remain illuminated while driving, and switch off automatically when the vehicle is locked.

Installation Complete

That’s it—your license plate projector is ready to use.

For a compatible vehicle, the entire installation uses the factory mounting position and original electrical connector, with no drilling or permanent modification required.

Having Trouble?

If the projector doesn’t turn on, check that the connector is fully seated and test it again before reinstalling.

If the image is upside down or reversed, remove the projector and correct its orientation.

If the housing doesn’t fit, do not force it. Recheck the vehicle compatibility listed on your product page.
