Hey guys just looking for some input. I have ordered an integrated tail light assembly and was curious if that would put off enough light to illuminate the tag with a fender eliminator?Does anyone have a fender eliminator without the tag light?Thoughts please- Thanks

It might be different in your state (although I doubt it) but here you are required to have a white light illuminating your license plate. Of course whether you will get a ticket for it is another matter.

As said, by law you must have the plate illuminated. Some aftermarket taillights have a small clear window at the bottom just for that purpose. I don't know if the Motodynamic taillight does, the only aftermarket one I know of for the FZ... unless you search eBay.
 
The stock taillight does not have that window and thus needs a seperate light for the plate.

Do you need any resistors for these?
No, just wire them with the correct polarity. They work great.

Nice, thanks.  I just pieced together a few 1.5" x 1.5" shelf corner braces for a $2 fender eliminator and wasn't sure what I was going to do about lighting.

I would say put a light on it, not worth the ticket

I don't run a light, and cops have passed me at night without giving me a ticket. This is California. The motodynamic tail is significantly brighter than stock, so the license plate is illuminated pretty well, but in a red hue.

As long as the plate is "illuminated" enough to make the plate readable at night... you shouldn't have any issues.
