I have removed the BUBS on my 75 and installed 73 painted black. I know I took the LP lights off of the BUB, but who knows where they are and I don't think they are a match for the early bumpers.
What do folks do? This seems like an item I could go to a trailer store for. Or are the OEM lights out there? They look like they were attached with sheet metal screws to the underside of the rear bumper top. Thanks. |

It took me a few months to find 2 decent early rear license plate lights. When you search for them, you will come up with a lot of trunk lights because 911's used them(?) for the licence plate and people get confused and label them wrong. You often see them still attached to whole rear bumpers with the pad for sale just as a bumper. I paid like $35 a piece for mine average. I've seen them for way more, though.

Just so I can get my plate lit up. $70 wow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Might be $10 at BJ's Trailers. Sorry, private joke I guess. Not enough folks from Nashville on here to get it.
