New number plate light (Lucas). Good Quality
Posted: Fri Aug 18, 2023 9:13 am
I bought a new number plate light and fitted it yesterday. My old one had only one bulb (the new one has 2) was very rusty and had a lot of solder inside of unknown provenance.
I find myself moaning a lot about parts that don't fit or are of poor quality. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of this light fitting. The nuts are 2BA just as they should be and it is solid and not ridiculously expensive. It is all marked "Lucas"
The electrical connections are hollow bullet connectors. These are the type that have a hollow bullet that the stripped cable strands are pushed through and then folded over. I think this is a bit rubbish so I used crimped bullets instead for a better connection. The hollow bullet is the original fitting though.
It's nice to buy and use a part that I am pleased with for once! If only all the parts we buy were like this I would be a very happy man.
