It would appear that the early license plate light (914 631 601 00) is NLA. To purchase new it looks like URO is the only option. I did a search and found one negative view of the quality of these lights, but no positive comments either. Can anyone comment on their quality?
Also, Pelican, Stoddard, and Sierra Madre have them, with the latter having a slightly better price at the moment. Is there any preference for dealing with one of these vendors? I've bought from Pelican before, but not the others. |

On the OEM units, the ground lug is connected internally to one of the screw holes. That means the light grounds not only through the ground wire, but also through one mounting screw by way of the bumper top's metal reinforcement and the bumper and chassis.
Which means if the wires are switched on one light, you pop a fuse every time you turn your headlights or parking lights on, and it takes hours of chasing the wiring down to figure out the problem. .... Don't ask how I know this .... --DD |
