Default ideas welcome for 6v unobtrusive license plate lamp

Guys, doing a little custom work for a friend. Rear license plate lamp needs a lamp. Must be small, unobtrusive.
Any thoughts?

I did think of modern LED trailer license plate lamps. Cheap and small... sadly, they won't work on 6v.

These work really well but I looked on eBay and can't find them in 6V.

The small LED lights that double as mounting bolts work well, but not sure if you can get them in 6 volt.

Eckler's list some LED bolt lights but its unclear if they are 6 volts. The listing shows 6 volts but no where in the specs does it say so. Not a fan of Eckler's but it might be worth a phone call.

I use these 6 volt LED bulbs in my 40 parking lights. Bright and small.
