Gauging interest for a possible small scale production of a solution to remedy the design issue of the OE license plate lamp housings.
The original license plate light assemblies on my car were inoperative upon delivery. Once taken apart and inspection I found the small plastic tabs that hold the copper terminals broken. I ordered some NOS assemblies - 1 arrived broken. DMC supplied another unit and both were installed with LED bulbs. A short time later the small plastic tabs had weakened and touching them in the slightest will cause breakage.
I am looking into replacing the OE pieces with sealed LED units that will secure with the existing screws and connect to the original wiring. If there is enough interest from the community I will look into making a plug-n-play set. Current cost is estimated ~$130/pair with my plug in wiring and there is no discount from the manufacture on a small scale.
