License Plate Lights - OMG

[chargin]

Holy Crap!

 

Hella is totally dropping the ball here:

 

BMW

Porsche

Abarth

 

we’re not the only ones in need, they must have been like $20/pr. When in production

Haha, yeah …..no.

 

I'm going full hog on a billet injection mold for these, so figure a million-billion of them will be produced.  Up front cost is high, but price per piece isn't bad.  Going out on a limb in hoping more than a couple people want them.

 

 

 

I'm in for a set... what is the ETA?

If you're not totally fixated on the OEM part, there are several license plate lights available on-line that are quite similar to the Hella versions--complete with LED bulbs for $7-8 each.  

 

That being said, as a bit of a purist, I'd like to have a nice new repro pair of lenses for my cars, so have at it, Ace!

Mike is right. From what I recall, the e21 license plate light is a direct fit P/N 63261365755 for about $20 or so each.

It's an original BMW part but not OE for our 2002s

Yup, $9.95, actually.

 

Audi Foxes used them too.

Jbaum, Brandon has a nice one on sale right now on the parts page for $75 delivered--that would leave you with $500+ to acquire the second one.
