Default [color=yellow]How do you remove license plate lights? [/colo

Any one know how to take out the lights just above the license plate? I want to replace them but don't know how to access them.

It's the easiest thing in the world; there are two housings, each with one screw holding them in place. Once the screws are out, move the housing to the left or right depending on which one it is and one side will pop out. Once you have one side out, move the housing in the opposite direction and it should fall out. There are tabs on either side of the housing that keep it from falling out even if the screw is not in. Once the housing is out, twist the bulb holder/wire to get the bulb out of the housing. I believe the bulbs are 74 if you want to replace them; I ordered blue LED replacement bulbs and they look great!

I have the PIAA Blue/White LEDs in mine. Been there for 3 months and not a problem from one officer. As long as the plate is lit and they are not flashing.....you won't have a problem.
