Rear Number plate lights

Post by StuartR »

The only one I have is damaged but made by ZKW, the part number on the righthand side of the lens is M1279A and A2028 on the left.

Does anyone know any other vehicles they were used on?

Hopefully VW as I am going to a show tomorrow, and there will be a VW auto jumble so hopefully a good hunting ground.
Best Regards

This was discussed on the Facebook page a few weeks ago.
The HELLA number is 2KA 001 378 041. Was mounted on Mercedes vehicles. Costs about 10-12€.
That part is (I think) http://www.buycarparts.co.uk/hella/933534 which is not quite the same as the original, but close ...

Yeah, this has been going around a bit..

The Hella light listed might fit, but I don't think it's correct.
The orig light is body grounded and excepts 1 hot lead.

Been doing a bit more digging. It seems that there are two versions, ZKW which is the one I have in bits, and for Germany and Italy the hella one. May 1969 parts book.

So I'll see what turns up. Suppose either can be used?
I need to get two so I can get the rear stiffener drilled and riv nutted before welding on.

Just get 2 Pinzgauer plate lamps and put 12v bulbs in them, that simple ;)
