[Staowners] Number plate lamp

[starcars8 at comcast.net]

Bill, No,It just says SUNBEAM. On export to US cars the license plate light also incorporated the reverse lights so the chrome cover had two divider bars to  seperate the two functions. Under the lens and attached to the light back plate were two rubber dividers of the same profile as the lens to seperate the license plate light from the reverse light.  Domestic cars [UK] did not have the reverse light function in the license plate light so did not always have the divided chrome cover. I have,however, seen variations on this theme.I guess consistency was not a priority back then.   Pete
