Is This a Fiber Optic Light?

Is this RPO U28 ashtray light fiber optic as part of the U46 “Lamp Monitor” system?

I believe it is, but want to be sure before I chase down a part.

Not sure as far as part of the U46 monitor group, but the 72 Customs have the ashtray fiber optic light. The fiber optic plugs into a special lamp socket from one of the instrument cluster lamps. 

Also has the underwood, mirror lamps, foot well courtesy lamps, etc. as part of the Auxiliary Light Group, RPO ZJ9. (pretty much all the lights listed on your build sheet above). That lamp group comes standard on the Custom, and apparently an option on the other years as well.

Look a little further on your sheet, is ZJ9 on there?

Thanks.  That’s what I’m looking at… That socket with the fiber optic cable. We’ll see what others might chime in with before I commit.  I have a counter offer good for about 20 more hours.

This snip from the GM Heritage package also shows the two different groups, and what it consists of. Note, that for a 1970, it appears W/S washer monitor is included. 1971 and 1972 shows the W/S system as a separate, different line item , and simply ACC with no RPO number. Doesn't necessarily mean there isn't a RPO number, because the individual lights on the build sheet do appear to have a number assigned to them.

1971 & 1972:

Make sure that "Clip # 3" is included if possible. That holds the cable to the ashtray housing.

Didn’t see this earlier, Joe. No, ZJ9 does NOT appear on my build sheet
