Has anyone relocated rear license plate to the bumper?

Hey all. I'm revisiting my rear cargo arrangement (again), and I'm finding it inconvenient that any solution I come up with is gated by having the rear plate on the passenger-side lower-door.
Has anyone relocated the plate elsewhere? I'd be fine with moving it to the cargo box driver's door, except that I'd have to also relocate the light for it, and I don't see a clean way to bring the wiring for that through the skin of that door without risking water intrusion, etc.
The bumper seems like a good candidate, in that I should be able to either tap into the tow-light harness, or reroute the existing plate-light circuit from where it goes from the jack storage area (since the grommet for the tow harness is also in that area).
Anyone tried anything like this?
