So on my '86 MGM there is a typical license plate light that is attached to the underside of the trunk lid. Well the small white plastic housing that the bulb snaps into has bit the dust after all these years. On the underside is the following: SAE L-79MY. Does anyone have this little POS? At present the entire bulb and wire is just hanging down in front of my license plate:-( Thanks in advance for any assistance, hopefully someone has this.............

Does the Dorman 68152 seem correct? (mounting holes dead center of the sides?)
If the mounting holes are slightly offset, it may be using the same ones as the fox bodies and LMR has that one: https://lmr.com/item/LRS-13550A-K/79...-And-Screw-Kit
Can't find a picture of what those buggers look like, so I'm not sure if either of these will work.

Sly the mounting holes are secured with 5mm screws. The housing has two "wings" that stick out..........this is where the screw holes are located. Dead center is the actual bulb.Originally posted by sly View PostComment

oh wow... that is not what I was thinking. That's quite the rigging for a light.

If you are referring to my posts, that was assuming you cannot find the lens itself. Since one seems to be located, it becomes a moot point and a better option.Originally posted by sly View PostWhat I Own: 1993 Mercury Grand Marquis GS
