A license plate I7 is shown with its digits I8 provided with a series of apertures I9 to allow the light to shine through. This arrangement as a whole is shown as a conventional design and may be varied to suit particular conditions and requirements.

In the diagrammaticillustrations, the head 'lights -are indicated at 20, l. In Figure 4 a trouble light 34 and a pilot signal 35 are operated by a relay switch 28 which functions only when the filament of the lamp 33 burns out or the lamp becomes otherwise disconnected in which case the trouble light 34 and the pilot signal 35 are ignited. In describing the operation of the method of illuminating the license plate, certain color lights are referred to. It is to be'understood, however, that any arrangement or color scheme may be employed without in any way effecting the operativeness of the device.

In operation the device functions as follows: The battery 22 furnishing the electric energy ignites the head light bulb 20 when the switch 23 is closed. Normally the switch 24, connected to the brake pedal of the automobile or the like, contacts the point 25 thus igniting the filament 3 of the light bulb 29 which, for example, is colored red and acts as a tail light, and the light bulbs 33 which are white and illuminate the license plate by means ofl the reflectors I in the compartment II.

When the operator applies the brake, the contact 25 of' the switch 24 will become inoperative and the contact 25 will be completed. This energizes the flasher switch 26 which intermittently contacts the points 2l and 21' thereby igniting the filament 30 in the red tail lamp 29 and the red lights 32 encased behind the license plate flashing the lamps 29 and 32 alternately as a warning signal that the vehicle is coming to a stop or has stopped, and as long as the brakes are kept in an applied position this flashing will continue.
