A dead license plate light, or moisture that has crept in under the lens, is one of the small but recurring faults on late 164s. The bulb sits exposed behind the plate, and a brittle gasket easily lets in moisture that attacks the socket and contact. This category gathers parts for the number plate lighting on the Volvo 164 in 1973-75 trim: bulbs and gaskets.

During a restoration it is worth checking both the condition of the bulb socket and the gasket's seal at the same time – a new bulb helps little if moisture keeps getting in. The 164 is a 12-volt car, so the bulb voltage must match that. Check the year model and trim against the original fixture before replacing, as details can differ across production.
