LMC Bumper License Plate Lighting

[SCOTI]

My old license plate lights had burnt plugs & the tabs broke off the buld housings so they had to be zip tied in place. So, as I was updating my 8yr old front light housings w/some new 'glass' Spyder units, I bought some fresh license plate hardware to have fresh parts @ both ends.

I spliced in fresh bulb sockets, added fresh bulbs, & installed the new license plate light housings. I switched the lights on to make sure everything worked. They lit up w/o issue but there was light emitting from a gap between the bumper & the bulb housing. I went to check the housing to make sure it was 100% seated & as soon as I grabbed it, the housing/cover fell off. Not even 5mins old & I have to fix them.

They weren't expensive but even so, they're cheaply made CRAP. Buyer beware.....
