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. |

Sorry, thought that was clear. URO sent them to me at no cost asking that I give my unbiased impression. And that’s what I’ve happily given above. If I didn’t like them or think they’re worth the ~$35 price tag I’d say so. People more knowlwdgeable than me, who have actually worked with the OE lights, might have a different impression, can’t say. All I can say is I’m happy with them (so far).

Maybe I'm a bit biased about science since research is my field, but when someone gives you something, even if you're Gandi, the bias is implied. In science they would never let that fly. EG: I pretty much hate Ford products and not without experience, my company cars have always been Ford. But if Ford wanted to give me a new F150 my unbiased opinion is not going to be unbiased. 'Oh! It's great! I hope they give me another next year!' That said, it looks like it works as advertised. GLWTR! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
