| | | Question The License Plate Lamp Assembly On A 91 G Series | Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 936 Likes: 36 old hand | OP old hand Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 936 Likes: 36 | Been working on the 91 Shorty for 17 months now…..just got the bumpers back on today. Ordered a new license plate lamp assembly last year and finally dug it out and opened the box….to my question….is there supposed to be some sort of gasket for it? The original one was still on the original license plate bracket when I removed the bumper and it was all rusted but cannot remember if there was a gasket on it……CRS…..LOL
Thanks

If it does would you be better off running a ground wire instead and cutting an EPDM gasket? is it possible the exposed metal was the beginning of the corrosion in the first place?

Not concerned to much will not be driving the van in the rain but might get caught in small rain at a show or cruise night…was just wondering if the assembly came from the factory with some sort of gasket for at least the lense cap anyway…..just trying to cover all my tracks….one less thing to worry about….

Painted the back of the lens white so the light only aimed at the plate. No gasket. If the light unit itself is sealed it probably doesn't matter.
