    Rear license plate bulb intermittently working

    Alright guys, time for backstory: Last winter I showed my friends girlfriend my LED license plate lights and what the LED bulbs look like, so I popped off the cover and showed her.. low and behold, the cover broke. So thats why most of my pics from last winter were w/ only one LED plate light on. I was too lazy and cheap to order a $3 part from somewhere and be stuck with $13 shipping.

    So It got all corroded in there (like a battery that blew up) and ever since then, my plate light doesn't work sometimes. Well last night after cleaning it up, I tried fiddling with it. Then just now it didn't come on again so I smacked the trunk and my OTHER plate light cover broke and fell off.

    Is the part that holds and conducts the electricity for the plate lights replaceable? I think it might be #16 but I'm not sure..


    Thanks guys

    Need the whole strip, its only sold as one piece. Its the whole new cover, base, trunk button and plate lights. It was a $75 part at my dealer and its primed ready for paint.
