We have units from the early 80's and when the hood light went out I was struggling to find a replacement. I was concerned this light would not fit like many have before, but it fits and works great!
The packaging was too much! 4 small cards with lightbulbs, each in bubble wrap - no problem. But the 12 x 18 x 4 inch box is a waste of time! And to top it off, the shipping label clearly said "REAR". Where was she taken? On the fenced porch!

In my 70's I'm trying to stay home as much as possible due to the virus so I had to order extra lightbulbs to have on hand. The only ones I could find at Walmart where I buy groceries were just LED lightbulbs. I don't want LED bulbs. I…
