Makes sense to me.
Go back to OEM lighting and start from there.
LED bulbs on their own will make the light come on, replace the whole license plate light units after the test, they have a built in resistor normally.
They are cheap and the lenses do not crack, details of them are all over this forum, you get them on eBay for ten to fifteen bucks a pair.
