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 ain't pretty, but it is very functional. Had to use a couple washers since my stash of short sheet metal screws had small heads. I think I will work on an improvement one day. But this gets the tag out of the back window.... no light there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
 And one with the light on. I guess I am legal. Although in TN you are not supposed to have anything covering any part of the plate. IF they wanted to they could ticket you for a LP frame. So this light fails that test. I think it shines out and back too much. IMO the LP bracket on these cars is a poor design, maybe even something that is not needed on the cars up thru 74. Just 4 holes in the bumper for some plastic anchors would be prefect. That is how the frame is mounted.  |
