Topic: License lamp "date" question

[austexstang]

Will a forum member please tell me what pro date this lamp & lens are?  Lens:  SAE-L-64-FD and the metal piece is SAE-L-65FE.  Thank you.

The Lens Retainer Bezel was used on all 64 1/2-73 Mustangs. The Lens itself will be either a 64-68 version or a 69-73 version. Although both versions had the same number molded into the glass, i have found that the earlier lens has a longer end one side with a 'forked' end for the retainer screw to go through. the later lens was cut off on that end with no need for a 'fork'.

Both the Bezel and the Lens were also used on most other Ford-Mercury products within that time period. The Main part of the license light(housing with electrical socket) is the differentiating factor on what model the license light is correct for.
