The frame has lights the on top & bottom, but the top & bottom has its own set of wires, requiring two routes of wiring. This seems a bit unnecessary & not constructed very well. I think a little more R&D could have made this a much better product. I ran the bottom wires aroundthe frame & spliced them into the wires from the top. A little more work than i wanted to do for a license plate frame, but in the end it looks amazing.
