2.2 Installation Instructions
There are two primary methods for installation, depending on whether your vehicle has existing holes on the bumper.
Image 2.2: Visual guide for installing the license plate bracket on a vehicle bumper.
Method 1: Vehicles with Existing License Plate Holes on the Bumper
- Align the bracket with existing holes in the bumper. Use the two sharp screws provided to securely fasten the bracket. It is recommended to use the screws that come with this bracket.
- Align the four holes of your license plate with the four round holes (with copper nuts) in the bracket.
- Use the four flat screws to fasten your license plate to the bracket.
Method 2: Vehicles without License Plate Holes on the Bumper
- Decide on the mounting location for the bracket on your vehicle's bumper.
- Place the bracket on the chosen mounting location and mark the position of the holes on the bumper. The distance between two holes cannot exceed the maximum possible distance of pushed-in slots on the bracket.
- For Curved Bumpers: If attaching the bracket in the center of a curved bumper is not possible, place screws close to the center of the bracket. Alternatively, the bracket can be placed on a left/right flat side of the bumper.
- Drill screw holes at the previously marked points. The screw holes must be smaller in diameter than the provided sharp screws.
- Place the bracket onto the bumper and use the two sharp screws, pushing them through the bracket's pushed-in slots into the drilled holes of the bumper. Tighten one screw at a time.
- Align the four holes of your license plate with the four round holes (with copper nuts) in the bracket.
- Use the four flat screws to fasten your license plate to the bracket.
Alternative Installation with Zip Ties: The tag holder can also be installed using the plastic zip ties included in the pack, especially useful for temporary mounting or when drilling is not desired.

2.3 Important Notes on Screws
All included bolts are designed for a Phillips screwdriver. This design prevents removal with a Star Key Wrench or Flat Head screwdriver, enhancing security.

The provided screws are specifically sized to match the bracket's depth, ensuring they do not protrude from the rear side and potentially scratch your bumper.
3. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the EACCESSORIES EA Universal License Plate Tag Holder Mount requires no specific operational procedures. It functions as a static mounting point for your license plate. Ensure all screws are tightened securely to prevent rattling or detachment during vehicle operation.

- Inspection: Regularly check all mounting screws and zip ties (if used) for tightness. Re-tighten as necessary to prevent loosening due to vehicle vibrations.
- Damage: In case of damage to the bracket, consider replacement to ensure secure license plate attachment.
5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter during installation or use.
