Bicycle Carrier Lightboard

I've just bought a Rhino lightboard for my tow-ball mounted bike
carrier and have affixed my NSW bicycle number plate. Unfortunately
the side shining white lights do not light up the number plate much at
all (lightboard probably designed for full size plates). Is this going
to be a problem (the guy at the shop said no)? If so, has anyone else
found a solution (i.e. connecting up an extra light over the plate)?
Thanks.

WTF?
You've bought an 'approved' lightboard, a plate, and fitted both, right?.
This is NOT to assist recovery of a stolen vehicke, since the very first
thing the bad *******s would do it ditch that and the cycle off the side of
the road. Bikes come cheap to them - it's transport and thrills they're
after.
The lightboard is there to assist wallet rape of you, me'earty, and if you
think otherwise, you've been on another planet for a considerable period,
and just got back.

The 'required' attitude to GovCo interference in our everyday lives?
Easy.

****-em.

Thanks for your useful and considered reply.....

Thanks. I'm no electrician though. Easy wiring job for a friend who
knows what they're doing?

very easy. Total cost around $20 if your cars wired for trailer plug already,which having a tow bar
should do.

Plenty of licence plate lights on eBay Australia but can't immediately
find one as mentioned.
