Hi Tomm,
I know that this was mentioned in hour new member thread. Have you given thought to keeping the bumper lights and ditching the body mounted lights? Personally, I like the bumper lights better.

Why is there both? Wouldn't one just have either or?
1974 bumper swap...
Would this require a cover plates/plugs over the old body mounted light locations? Or is there a different center panel that would coordinate with the bumper mounted lights?
True. Easier to just replace the panel with a pre-74/Euro one. W/o the fog light of course (unless you want to cut up the rear to accommodate).

Will look more correct too w/the early bumpers you have on there.

Outrageous price for crappy reflectors regardless.
plenty of members have spare trim plates...
Is it the same plate light used on a square light 2002? BMW part number 63268777102.

Hi - just missing the lens on left side - bu twill buy a set if needed. TY!
those license plate lights were used on e21 / e12 / e23 and e24 (i believe) ... so they aren't exactly rare.
Nobody seems to be able to find them. I was looking on 2002FAQ and they too are searching.
You will be a hero to the '02 crowd if you find a source

I just found a pair on Ebay today for $150 - may just bite the bullet. Thx Markos!
Original to your purchase but not to the car. They came with one or the other but not both. The ones on
the body are original to your car but your bumpers are retrofits. That is, unless you have a euro car and someone added bumper lights. The VIN or a picture of your trunk would answer that mystery.
Likely what happened is the car got hit on the rear in its life and the bumper that was put on was not a 1973.
