Replacing Number Plate Bulbs
Replacing Number Plate Bulbs
Ok so I finally got round to changing my number plate bulbs to LEDs, had the bulbs sitting there for years!! Wasn’t sure if there was already a walk through so took a few snaps to post up!
Tools Required:
Flat head screwdriver
8mm socket (although can be done with a spanner)
Time Required
Approx 20 mins
The first thing you will need to do is to remove the clips holding the boot lid backing
You will then see two 8mm bolts on either side of the latch which you need to remove
There are another 2 bolts behind the little plastic hatch which the latch sits behind that also need to be removed, this is a PIA if you don’t have an 8mm socket, I had lend mine to someone so had to do it with a spanner and is a right :cursing: to get to with!
The (bar) panel above the number plate is now loose, however you will need to give it a bit of a pull as it is still attached with 2 clips
Panel removed
You then remove the clear lens by pushing them to the side and lifting out, I think mine went outwards i.e.the right one I pushed towards the right from its left side and the left one I pushed towards the left from its right side
The bulb holder then just twists out of the lens and the bulb can be swapped
Do everything in reverse to put it all back together
Job done
