Hello Everyone!
The lights that illuminate the license plate on my 1978 Jeep Cherokee have gone out. As I was investigating the issue with the thought of just swapping the bulb, it was quickly apparent that this was going to be a potentially tougher issue as the bulb seems to be hard wired in. I was told that for the full size Jeeps the entire assembly needs to be replaced, not just a simple bulb. Is this correct? If so, does anyone have an assembly for sale?
However, is it possible to splice in a socket that allows for an LED bulb? This type of bulb should last a while and since it is socketed it should be easy to replace. Has anyone done this?
I am, unfortunately, in a state where I am told that the police will pull you over for the license plate bulb being out, thus night driving is not an option until a fix is performed. Does anyone know if a temporary light is possible (such as an LED strip that tapes onto the license plate bulb cover)?
Thank you, all!
