Crown Victoria license plate light backup camera mount

thingiverse

Update 5/10/23: the gasket fits perfectly. Light transmission is good with the "solid" version printed in clear PETG. Additional photos of that version added. Update 5/4/23: added a model for a gasket. Print from TPU. I initially just cut one from gasket rubber I had on hand, but it's red. The OEM gasket might fit, but is usually firmly stuck to the OEM light, whether by intent or time, so here's a new one! It's literally an extrusion of the top mounting surface of the mount with the inner opening offset 0.5mm for clearance. That should be enough, but I will print one up and check soon. I've also printed up the rev 4.5 in clear, and it looks decent. I'll have to install and see how good or bad the light transmission is. Update 5/3/23: Added Rev 4.5, and 4.5 Clear. I imported the model into Fusion 360 and extended some surfaces to avoid awkward small insets and weird angles, and added a bunch of fillets for a cleaner appearance. Removed some extraneous surfaces that were artifacts of TinkerCAD's additive process. The "Clear" version features fully enclosed light boxes, intended to be printed in transparent material. I have not printed these yet, so please let me know if anything blows up. A reversing camera mount for Ford Crown Victorias that replaces the license plate light. It should fit 1998-2012 Crown Vics and Mercury Grand Marquis, possibly Town Cars - I have not looked at the license plate light on those. It was designed to fit an Atoto reversing camera, but will likely fit a variety of Chinese-made cameras. Mounting holes may differ, of course, and the angle may not be exactly correct depending on the field of view angle of your camera. The large hole on top is for the big honking RCA plug my camera came with to pass through. Many cameras have a much smaller pug that connects to a harness with the standard RCA plug, but this one didn't, unfortunately. Please feel free to modify as necessary for your camera - I'd love to hear about someone else getting use out of this. The factory license plate light twists right in. I added a second socket and wiring spliced in for even lighting, but the single light is most likely adequate for legality. this was sliced with PrusaSlicer using an AnkerMake M5 profile @ 15% infill, and printed on an AnkerMake M5 using default settings, taking about an hour to print. This is my first original design, and I'm really happy with how it came out! TinkerCAD is a treat to use for simple designs like this.
