Just make sure the plate can be seen..... Ashley truck with the stock location/tire carrier caused us to be pulled over 3 times...... then I just bolted it to the bumper.
I plan on adding a light but thats still on the TBD list.....

Mine on the Dodge hasn't been lighted since I've owned it.

They'll bust your ass in Texas for it. Don't know about MS.
LED Tag Light
I found an LED tag light at auto zone that mounts across both your tag screws. Pretty cool. It's says "for off-road use only", but who pays attention to that stuff anyway. Makes a good back up light too.
You can find it in the "Pimp yo' ride" section.
I can take a picture if you want me too.

Good call on inspection requirement Chris. I was searching for the laws on google and finding nothing.
Searched for inspection requirement, led me to the MSHP. Law requires a clear light that makes the plate visible from 50' with no further ilumination.

As long as they keep checking drain plugs your still my lube man.
I know, first hand, that in Biloxi you will be pulled over for missing a tag light. If your vehicle is equiped with two, both must be working. It is a $50 ticket even if one is working. Numerous other people have had a similar experience, all in Biloxi. In fact, because Biloxi has it own jail at the polcie station, they can actually bring you in and make you pay $50 extra just to bail out. I know someone that was arrested and had to bail out in Biloxi for "improper equipment" due to 1 of 2 tag lights not working.

This reminds me of something that happened to me in Jacked Town once. I was at George Street Grocery one night and got a call from a couple friends at Subway Lounge, wanting me to come over/down there. I had enjoyed two or three adult beverages at that point but luckily hadn't manned a stool for too long. I get in my car and head West. Well, as luck would have it, I ended up in the triangle of death very quickly- cars NOT on blocks, guys hanging out in the street, no street lights- that sort of thing. As I am heading to what appears to be a dead end, I see a Crown Vic with no lights on. I pass it and pull into a driveway to turn around. Of course lights come on the car and it starts following me. Blue lights come on and I pull over. Occifer Friendly gets out and says to me, "Either you are selling or buying drugs here or you are VERY lost. Which is it?" I told him honestly that I was looking for Subway Lounge. He said, "You are going to get your azz kilt here. I am going to lead you back to the interstate. Follow me and don't come back down here. And by the way, your license plate light is burned out." I guess I was "profiled" driving a then-new BMW in that area. In hindsight I probably could have loaded 75 lbs of crack in my 60, dropped an empty beercan on my antenna, parked in the grass in front of Subway and been fine.
Anyway, I followed him out of there and we passed Subway. I called my friends and, behold, they were standing out in front of Subway eating hotdogs. I followed the guy all the way to 55 and went home. I don't think I ever went back down there.

Did you get my rent money while you were down there?

The Subway Lounge... Man what a great place! Where the blues was "real". We once loaded a bunch of people in a worn out Winnebago and went there for an evening of the blues. We paid a guy in front of the place to watch the Winnie for us and when we stumbled out of there he was no where to be found. The Winnie was such a pos that no one even wanted to steal it. It backfired all the way home and was smoking like crazy. Didn't think we were gonna make it but we didn't much care at that point. Good times!

No, Ronnie wasn't driving (thank goodness) and yes it was a bachelor party. That was before we had all of the "good" places for bachelor parties.

It was kind of funny about paying these guys to watch your car. If you paid them, they'd "watch your car" and if you didn't pay them they'd watch your car get broken into. Simpler times back then.

Wanted to show off the rack I made to carry John Gordon's cruiser on the reciever hitch. This is the electric 40 that I bought from Lash's son Jace before my son was born.
