The lens is missing and when I went to look for one among the typical vendors, I didn't find anything at all similar, which makes me think this is probably an after market item. Does it look familiar to anyone? [IMG] http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y261/bohon/56%20Chevy%20truck/TransandDome013.jpg[/IMG]

Bill | | | | | Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 5 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 5 | It looks like a Betts Ind. light.
Clear lens would be 920048 or 920057 for a tall reflectorized style | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 814 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 814 | So is it actually a license plate light? Where are the part numbers you mentioned from?

If you put a clear lens on that and use it for a tag light you are asking to be pulled over. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,557 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,557 | looks like a running "marker" light base that goes on a trailer,just my opinion.

We used them for trailer lights. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 814 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 814 | Thanks. I've since replaced it with a real license plate light.
