License plate light for custom bumper?

My bumper is pretty much complete but I need a light for the license plate. Any ideas for a license plate light?

My choices so far are these:

Lighted license plate bolts:

Lighted Frame:

I like the bolts but I'm afraid they aren't gonna light the plate up enough. The frame is nice but for my needs I'm going to need to hack it up and paint it black.

Like I said, has anyone used something else or have any new ideas?

I bought one like that from summit. It's still sitting in the package as it came a couple days too late =[

I have the stainless bolts that light up. They work fine. The wiring has to be disconnected to remove the plate.

I would use one made for a trailer...

www.easternmarine.com has a good selection, and I buy from them all the time.

I'm going to try the lighted bolts. Kind of expensive for little bolts, but the final product is very clean which is a huge plus.
