I am sure I saw someplace where someone of you guys found a direct replacement for our license plate light in a junk yard on another type vehicle. I don't know what it was, and my light sockets are corroded and falling apart on my 96 dually. Does anyone know of a doner vehicle that has the same type light fixture we have?? I did a search and found nothing.. thanks

 

I need some too. Mine crumbled just tryin to take em out.

 

I completely did away with the crappy factory plate lights. I put in oval chrome/metal lights that you can buy at Autozone. No more plastic to melt or rot out and it looks factory.

All it takes is a hole saw or a dremel to make them fit.

Don't have a camera with me right now or I would take pics.

 

Thanks Black, guess I'm gonna go to Autozone, always liked that place anyway...

 

If you can't find em, I'll get the part number the next time I go to A-zone.

 

I used the cracked rest of my old license plate lights and glued an LED "bulb" into it, glued the whole shebang in place and it still works after 2 years. Much better than the stockers that rotted away quickly, where the bulb burnt the plastic etc.

My lamp sockets were a mess (like everyone else's). I searched Rock Auto and they list Dorman 85889 as the socket for the lamp.

Looks right for the lamp end. I presume they don't have any connector on the other end. Has anybody ever tried them?

I can't find a local parts store that stocks Dorman.

 

The ones from a second gen Caravan will fit thats what I used as there are 10 billion of those in the scrap yards

 

Mine didnt work when I bought my truck, the dealer had them for $12 or $13 with new wires and everything.

 

lmctruck.com sells them now cheaper than the ***********

 

LMC has them for $15 each + shipping. That can't be much better than mopar.

I'll probaly check the U-pick-it yards. I can't see paying $30 for two little lights from the dealership.

Thanks!

 

I've looked at my local autozone a few times and haven't seen these lights. What make are they?

 

Blazer part #B160 item #378034. Just put one in yesterday since mine was burnt out after 8 years. $3.99. Autozone here has them in isle with the trailer lights.

 

Thanks.






ok done hijacking the thread now.

 

Thanks for reminding me of something I have been needing to fix. Mine are shot as well. Gotta go to autozone tommorow anyways gonna see if they got some.
