Can you relocate the front license plate?

I want to move my front license plate so I can use the Rigid LED light bar in my bumper. They have an option of two small 4" lights to use on either side of the plate - but I want the full size light.

Has anyone relocated the front license plate mount?

Yes. I popped out the rivets. Flipped the plate over and drilled holes through the mount and plate into the stock holes where the rivets went.

Just a thought:

How about getting the front plate mount on the driver's bumperette like the EcoBoost F-150s use? It should fit, no?

I thought about that but they are different sizes.

You could always rubber band it to the passenger sun visor and leave it flipped down.

I think I will be installing a hidden winch with a special mount made for the Raptor. There is a special mounting plate that clamps onto the winch's roller fairlead that holds the tag. It makes for a clean install and keeps the plate in about the same location.

I am hoping I can mount the Rigid 4" LED lights on each side of the winch.

And yes, the EcoBoost F-150 must have larger bumperettes.

To get the front plate bracket off do you have to remove any part of the fender or does it just screw right off from the front?
