This collection features an illuminated LED license plate badge carrying the Forester logo, made for Subaru's compact SUV. It is a custom-made aftermarket accessory, not a genuine Subaru part, designed to mount near the rear license plate and light up the Forester emblem. The illuminated badge adds a subtle personalization touch to the rear of the vehicle, visible day or night once wired in.
The Forester is Subaru's compact SUV, in production since 1997 across several generations (SF, SG, SH, SJ, and SK). It is one of Subaru's best-selling models worldwide, known for standard all-wheel drive, strong outward visibility, and a practical, boxy cargo area that has kept it popular with active and outdoor-focused owners for over two decades.
This badge mounts on the rear of the vehicle near the license plate area and illuminates the Forester wordmark, typically wired into the reverse or tail light circuit.
Built with a weather-sealed LED module and low-voltage wiring harness, mounted with adhesive or screws depending on your rear panel layout.
Confirm whether you want a plate-frame style or a separate bracket-mounted badge, your access to a 12V wiring point, and your Forester generation so the rear panel fit is correct.
The most common mistake with illuminated plate badges is tapping into a circuit that is only powered intermittently, which can make the light flicker or fail to stay lit. We recommend confirming a reliable switched 12V source with a test light before final installation, and double-checking your Forester generation so the rear panel curvature and plate cutout line up correctly the first time.
Installation involves mounting the badge near the license plate, running a low-gauge wire to a switched circuit such as reverse or tail lights, and securing the housing with adhesive or the provided screws. Most owners complete the job in 30 to 45 minutes with basic hand tools. Once installed, wipe the lens with a soft cloth and avoid pressure-washing directly into the wiring grommet to keep the seal intact over years of use.
Generic illuminated plate accessories are often unbranded or use a one-size bracket that does not sit flush on every Forester generation. Building yours to order lets us match the Forester rear panel shape, use the exact wordmark styling, and size the wiring harness for a clean, hidden installation.
No, the LED module draws very little power and is typically wired to an existing circuit that is only active when the car is running or the lights are on.
Confirm your generation when ordering so we can match the rear panel and wiring correctly.
Yes, the housing is sealed against moisture for regular outdoor use.
Since each unit is built to order, lead time varies with demand; we confirm an estimated timeline when your order is placed.
