rear license plate light bracket rusted to hell
I have a rear license plate bracket that's rusted to hell. Looks like it might start falling apart soon. Need some advice on what to do to best clean off the rust and to make it last as long as possible. So far I've sprayed it with WD-40 for rust and am letting it soak overnight.

Buy one of these from eBay.
"Single Bolt On 12 LED Universal White License Plate Light"
Use two small "mending straps" (about 2-inches long from hardware store or Home Depot). Bolt a mending strap to each end of the light. Put the other end of the mending strap behind the license plate and bolt/screw thru the mending strap.

Can you post the link or part number for the License Plate Light Bracket?

Mine rusted bad enough that there was basically nothing left of it except for some small parts where it screwed to the bumper cover. On the website above, for a 2004 sedan, it gives a bracket part number of 96252AM601. It also shows a price of about $54, which, as most people said, is a bit ridiculous.
Anyone have a used one they would like to sell? Otherwise, I may try the 3M route.

Still ridiculous for what it is though.
