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. |

I used a LED from Pep Boys that mounts to the license plate screws. Easy to install; no hassle.

QUOTE(andys @ Dec 4 2013, 10:43 AM)  I used a LED from Pep Boys that mounts to the license plate screws. Easy to install; no hassle. http://www.pepboys.com/product/details/999...808/?quantity=1 Andys Very cool option. Pep Boys is close to where I am going tonight. They are not close to home so I never use them, or think they will have anything different than the stores on my side of town. My loss I guess. I just bought one and they have "pick-up at store" option. I'll try it and then try the bolt light if I am not satisfied. And then the trailer store then the dreaded OEM $75 ones. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Thanks for the suggestions EDIT: I checked amazon about this one. Reviewers say that this one does not last. Made of plastic and they were only $12 on Amazon vs. $19 with tax and a 30 minute drive. But I will have the thing and save the receipt! It gets water inside.... Hey I am not going to drive in the rain anyway, right? |
