The sidelights have the license plate # on them. Never seen that before.

Great catch. I had not noticed that, nor seen it before either.

Looks to me to be written on the photo rather than the light itself.Robert Kiefaber wrote: ↑Tue Jan 13, 2026 12:14 amThe sidelights have the license plate # on them. Never seen that before.IMG_2297.jpeg
