The next step in the instructions required that we carefully install the Stealth Kit’s backing plate, lens, and frame along with the vehicle’s license plate.  The metal backing plate attaches directly to the car, the license plate attaches to the backing plate, the lens, which is attached to the frame, screws into the backing plate right over the license plate .  While the backing plate only uses two of the four holes normally used to bolt the license plate to the vehicle, the backing plate is secure when bolted to the vehicle.  One gripe I did have with this part of the instillation was with the 4 screws that are used to hold the somewhat heavy frame / lens to the backing plate. The head of the screws is almost the same size as their respective holes and they just don’t seem significant enough to secure the frame on the car.   I will add that I have had The Stealth Kit on my car for over 1,000 miles and have yet to run into any problems.  The trickiest part of the installation was running the wire from the control unit inside the vehicle to the lens on the outside of the vehicle.  We quickly found it most convenient to run the wires through the same holes used for the bulbs that illuminate the license plate at night.

The supplied wire connectors made it easy to connect the various wires to the control unit. One feature that we were really impressed with were the 3 white LED’s built into the frame of the Stealth Kit.  They clearly illuminate your license plate when you turn on the vehicles headlights. The control unit has a simple toggle switch and a red LED that blinks when there is no power going to the lens notifying the user that the license plate is currently NOT visible.
