Description
Rear License Plate Relocation Bracket for 2007-2017 Jeep Wrangler JK / JKU — Spare Tire Mount with LED Light
Clean up your Jeep Wrangler JK's rear profile with this spare tire-mounted license plate relocation bracket. When you upgrade to an aftermarket rear bumper, delete the factory bumper, or run oversized tires that block the stock plate location, this bracket provides a legal, illuminated mounting solution that keeps your plate visible and compliant. The included LED license plate light ensures nighttime visibility and wires into your factory license plate light circuit.
Key Features
-
Spare Tire Centered Mount: Positions your license plate directly in the center of the spare tire for a clean, symmetrical rear look — no more awkward bumper-hanging plate.
-
Integrated LED License Plate Light: Bright white LED provides full plate illumination for nighttime compliance. Low power draw (0.5W) and 50,000+ hour lifespan.
-
Heavy-Gauge Steel Construction: Powder-coated black steel bracket resists rust, corrosion, and trail impacts. Won't flex or vibrate at highway speeds.
-
Universal Bolt Pattern: Fits standard US/Canada license plates. Mounting slots accommodate minor misalignment — no drilling required for the plate itself.
-
Compatible with Oversized Tires: Works with tire sizes up to 40" — the bracket mounts to the wheel studs, so it clears any tire diameter.
-
Complete Kit: Includes bracket, LED light, wiring harness, mounting hardware, and zip ties for clean wire routing.

Why Choose iFJF
Cheap relocation brackets use thin-gauge metal that vibrates, rusts, and eventually cracks. iFJF's bracket is laser-cut from 12-gauge steel, precision-welded at the mounting points, and finished with a durable black powder coat that survives years of trail debris and road salt. The LED light is fully sealed against water and dust ingress. When law enforcement checks your plate at night, you want it illuminated — our LED delivers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this work with my aftermarket wheels?
A: Yes. The bracket mounts via the spare tire lug nuts, so it works with factory and aftermarket wheels alike. If your aftermarket wheels use different lug nuts (spline drive, tuner style), the bracket's stud holes are slotted to accommodate most lug designs.
Q: How do I wire the LED light?
A: The LED light connects to your factory license plate light wiring. Splice into the positive (typically white/brown on JK) and ground (black) wires behind the tailgate trim panel. The included T-tap connectors make this a solder-free install. Total wiring time: 10-15 minutes.
Q: Will my license plate be visible at night?
A: Yes. The integrated LED provides bright, even illumination across the entire plate, meeting DOT requirements for rear plate lighting. The LED is angled to illuminate the plate without creating glare for following drivers.
Q: Can I still use my backup camera?
A: If your backup camera is mounted in the center of the spare tire, the bracket will block it. Consider relocating the camera to the bumper or using an aftermarket camera relocation bracket (sold separately).
Q: Does this fit the Wrangler JL (2018+)?
A: No. The JK and JL use different wheel bolt patterns (5x5" vs 5x5" with different stud spacing). This bracket is designed for 2007-2017 JK only. See our JL-specific bracket for 2018+ models.
Q: Is this legal in all states?
A: The bracket positions the plate in a visible, illuminated location, which meets the requirements of all 50 states. However, some states require the plate to be mounted at the rearmost point of the vehicle — consult your local vehicle code to confirm compliance.
