Re: 2nd time I've broken the license plate / rear signal hol
These little signals are actually some small filament type wire bulb. They are quite bright, but I'm not quite sure if Cycle Gear sells replacement bulbs for them. So No LEDs, these are actual bulbs of some small type. I just don't want to have to deal w/ yet a THIRD! cracked plate. the aftermarkets are superlight. GF repainted the bracket w/ some flat glossy black.

Picture of the plate mounted. Holding up good so far.

Re: 2nd time I've broken the license plate / rear signal hol
I just got to work today and had the exact same crack. I'll go through the repairs and check the dampers but it seems like a flimsy bracket to me. Seems like a simple aluminum flat bar with the ends bent and drilled and the turn signal holders bolted through the holes would be an improvement. I'll give this a try.

I have a bracket with the same crack here, came in a box of spares. :/
LEDs are not bright? bare...?

Re: 2nd time I've broken the license plate / rear signal hol
I have a few of those brackets, all had signs of fracture in the corners of the tab that the blinker attaches to. I think it is a design fault that becomes apparent as the bushes harden, The stalks for the rear blinkers are long, I replaced mine with a short set like the ones on the front.
