Is there away to replace the two license plate lights without going to the dealer as the manual suggests?

 

browse the forum, there are some post regarding changing lights, including license plate lights

 

yes, it is a royal pain in the arse....

the safest way is to remove the inner trunk lid lining, unplug the bulbs from the b/u lights/parking lights, and remove both lenses. Between the lenses, there is a small trim strip that covers most of both of the license plate lights. that will pull off... the license plate lights then have a small clip that when pushed in, will release the light housing...

The easiest way is to pry the darned thing off, but don't scratch it... have PIAA plasma blues in mine... =o)

 

Man, that sounds complicated. I'm not doing that to my car...

 

I'll snap some shots later if I get the urge to... not too hard really... just be veeeeerry careful... =oP
