Bottle opener / license plate light

There are times when I attend a car show that I need a beverage. Now where's the dog gone bottle opener? I also needed a license plate illumination light.
PROBLEM SOLVED
I bored a 3/4" hole through the body of my truck above the license plate, attached a small interior light (from an Isuzu door) covered the light with a piece of plexi glass, attached a bottle opener with screws long enough to go through the panel and light. Wired the light to my tail lights. Now I have a back lit bottle opener / license plate light. There's enough light to be legal for the state patrol.
Drink responsible, these beers consumed at home, we just had to try it out.

 

That put a smile on my face Good job!!

 

Great idea!! Just don't let the "boys in blue" catch ya crackin' one open...

 

Whoa, that's a neat one!

I really like the "HOME BREWED" opener.

More info, the light base is from Isuzu Trooper doors, Isuzu Rodeo doors, and I've found them on Honda Passport doors.

 

This is a variation on that theme.



Just saying ...

 

I'm totally stealing your idea...

Stealing your idea X2. Great idea!

 

ZING! stealing this!! When i was a tike, my grandfather retired and i helped him take his opener off the wall at his business and put it next to his old time clock which he'd moved to his home wood shop.

After he died i took that opener off the wall and have been saving it for a good idea to come along.

I'll drink to that

 

I don't drink, so forgive me for asking, but do beer bottles still need openers like this? I thought everthing had gone to screwtops?

I like the ingenuity tho, well done!

 

Great idea!

 

Awesome! Thanks, but I'm swiping your idea for my Dodge flatbed truck! I was racking my brain to think of something cool and also have a bottle opener that I wanted to mount "somewhere" on the truck. BOTH problems solved!!!

 

That is a great idea!

 

Haha! That's awesome!

 

Great idea.
Now you need something to catch the caps.
"Don't be a litterbug"

 

brilliant!

 

love it! years ago i had one srewed to the side of my jeep, i wrote "for off road use only" near it for the Boys in blue

 

Some higher end beers still have press on caps.

 

Not the pics and responses i was expecting....i like it

 

HAAA! That's freakin' cool!

Most good beer won't have a screw top. I always tell my brother, "life is too short to drink shitty beer!" He still doesn't get it. Ah well, he's 82. He can drink whatever the hell he wants.

I love the opener/light idea!

 

I love ingenuity...Looks great..........

 

Awesome!!!!

 

I'd like to have one on my dash.
