Where did you get that tag frame?
I just clicked on it and it came up with no problem. I got the license plate frame from Amazon. It is model 8201-11 and you can get it black as well.

I thought read somewhere that there is some sort of bracket there if you have the auto opening gate? Don't remember seeing those on mine though.

I have no experience with this product so I cannot speak to it's durability, but it certainly seems like it could be a viable option.

I just installed these lights and will confirm that they dont FIT without modiftication. This light is a hair too deep but can be modified by dremeling off the entire edge that goes around the back of the light to make it thinner. I used double sided gorilla tape and it fits and clears the tail gate. These etrailer.com lights are the same as Blazer c513r low profile light that can be bough for $10 at Walmart(I had to order online and ship to store).
