Nice little bracket that allows you to run a front license plate utilizing the tow hook so you don't have to use those big and bulky plate holders.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The Instrument panel lights on my 2003 996/911 suddenly stopped working. Thinking it was a fuse, I checked and replaced the A5 fuse and the panel lights are off as well as the rear license plate light (same fuse). I checked and there is not any power getting to the license plate light. Thinking it might be an ignition problem, swapped in a new one and lights still out. Any other suggestions or has anyone else experienced this problem. Thanks,...KPQ
