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

[Image: Picture001-1.jpg]

You will then see two 8mm bolts on either side of the latch which you need to remove

[Image: Picture003-1.jpg]

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!

[Image: Picture007-1.jpg]

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

[Image: Picture008-1.jpg]

Panel removed

[Image: Picture009.jpg]

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

[Image: Picture011-1.jpg]

The bulb holder then just twists out of the lens and the bulb can be swapped

[Image: Picture012.jpg]

Do everything in reverse to put it all back together

Job done Smile
