So I have had my LED’s for my license plate for a few weeks. I can’t figure out how to remove the old bulbs.

Everywhere I have found online says to just remove the cover on the back, it just pops off which it does and then they say to disconnect the bulb power wire which was easy. Then they say to twist and pull the bulb out. My question is how? It will not twist, or pull out anyone have more specific info on how to pull the bulb out.

I am sure I am missing something simple here. I have an 07 tC

 

Twist counterclockwise and pull out.

It's real tight, I used some pliers to twist the socket.

 

Co-sign with Tu. I actually did this last weekend, too. That thing was a bear. I'm convinced that bulb socket was heat-shrunk in there somehow. Once you get it out one time, it's gonna be easy everytime thereafter.

 

So much for not wanting to break anything lol

Thanks guys I'll keep you posted.

 

I'm looking at getting an LED for the license frame, where did you get it/part #? I searched on Schucks website, but found nothing...

 

I think its just a 194 style bulb...correct?

 

Correct, 194 or 168, same thing.

 

I ordered all of my LED's from http://www.oznium.com/ they were great. You can find them cheaper on ebay sometimes.

 

and what color is going in there because i have two led's that i will be using for car shows that are blue for the license plate

 

I'm not sure who you're asking, but I'm looking to get white because I've been told it's the only legal color you can use???

 

i bought both sets of mine off of ebay for even cheaper the the parts stores. i have in there right now really bright white ones and then like i said i have a set of blue led ones i got for 2.50 on ebay

just go to ebay and type in 194 led's or 194 bulbs and if you want find a guy on there that goes by warden_jp2002 his are cheaper and work just as well and he has a ton of different colors and leds

 

i know there are laws about color, but i have red ones, have had many a cop behind me at night, never said anything.......as fo oznium....im still skeptical of them considering my first purchase from them (green dash led's) i had them in for less than 6 months and one is burnt out.....LED's arent supposed to burn out, as far as i know the only way to kill an LED is to over power it or it is cheaply made

 

I got white for my license plate, it looks like what you see on the Lexus vehicles. As for quality so far I don’t have any problems with the xB but it has only been three months. I also swapped out the dome light, white in the xB, and blue for the tC with white Map lights.

 

ohhhh!! for the xB dome, what one did you get, i have been mulling this over in my head....need more green lights....wasnt sure which one was best fit


**Edit-
GAH! i'm thinking of the led grid's on the superbrightleds.com site...lol not the oznium......but any way does anyone know what one is best fir from the superbrite led site?

 

I got the one in the link below in White

http://www.oznium.com/led-domelight

 

ohh schweet! didnt know they had the grids there, which one did you get the 16 or 25 led version?

 

Wow, those were a b!tch to take out.... I had to use pliers as well. We will see how they look tonight tho! Thanks for the help guys.
