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. |

Last year, I found a different source for license plate illumination. I plan to use
them (2x) on my Ghia. They are license plate bolts that have a LED in the head of the bolt and a little cut on the side of it exposing the LED to illuminate the plate. I didn't want to run a license plate frame, nor the original license plate housing on the Ghia. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/300442806023?lpid=82 |

They also can be purchased at PepBoys |
