View 4 RepliesI wanted to change my license plate bulbs to LED's. Can't figure out how to get to them. The book says have the dealer replace these bulbs if burnt out. I Always like to try to do things myself.

How do I change my license plate bulbs? I can't seem to get the plastic covers to pop off without worrying about breaking something. Even reading about people saying the puddle lights were hard to change, i did mines in 10 minutes in the dark with a small flashlight lol.
This was a lot easier old my old g37/350z ....

View 3 RepliesSo I took my GTI in for my 10k service and to have them fix the wastegate rattle and the subframe shifting. They fixed the wastegate by installing the clip but didn't have the shims in stock for the subframe so I need to go back anyway, but I'd really like to fix my license plate lights before then.
Is there a possibility the tech could have accidentally unplugged a cable for the lights when he was rotating the tires or messing with the wastegate, etc? Maybe a blown fuse? I'm running LEDs and I already tried putting the incandescent bulbs back in but they don't work either.
I have an intermittent error that comes on most of the time I have my headlights on, but sometimes goes off and comes back while I am driving. It shows me the bulb out light, and says on the screen "Number plate Check license plate lighting!" I have never touched the oem factory bulbs on the license plates, and if i get out and look at the plate, both lights are on over the plate.
The only change I have made was about a year ago, I installed an LED bulb in the trunk, and ran a second OEM trunk light in the left side and installed an LED bulb in that too, tee'd off the factory trunk light housing. But like I said, that was 1 year and 30,000 miles ago, and my bulb our error for the license plate has only just started, so I doubt they are related.
I am trying to swap out my stock license plate bulbs on a 2012 Prius.
After getting to the bulb socket holding thing, I have read that you're supposed to turn it 1/4 counterclockwise and pull but mine is stuck and won't turn either way.
I found some threads about changing the license plate light on a 2009 Hyundai Accent and all of them involved removing the plastic trim inside of the hatch. However, I saw a few people mention that they broke a few plastic clips. I want to prevent breaking any clips.
Also, this ( hyundai-forums.com/184-mc-2006-2011-accent/94825-2009-accent-replacement-bulbs.html ) thread says that the replacement lights for the license plate are 168 or 168LL, but other posters say that they replaced them with white lights. What code are they?
02 Camry, how to I remove the burnt license plate bulb? Took off the underside trunk carpet and disconnected bulb harness, but I don't know how to remove the plastic piece that holds the bulb in place. Does it pull out, or twist out? I don't want to break it!

what kind of light bulb I need to get?
After going through the car wash several times now in my 2010 RX 350, my front license plate has been bent in all different directions. Car wash guys say it's due to not having a full plate holder, where as 4 screws secure the plate vs. only the top 2 as we have. Any plate holder from another vehicle that I might adapt to overcome this?
View 14 RepliesI'm in the process of replacing license plate bulbs. I broke the old housing for one of the bulbs so I bought new LED lights on eBay and they came with the housing. The problem is, I can't get the cover to stay clipped in to the tailgate. How to get the lights to stay in? What am I doing wrong?
View 7 RepliesWhere the license plate lights get thir power from? I have a 2002 SC430 and the plug is just dangling. It goes behind the plate and then if I look under the car, it is just there by the bumper and I cannot find a connector that it can reach.
View 3 RepliesI try to install LEDS on it and I guess I accidently blew the fuse and when I try to search for it, I can't locate it.

My top screws are plenty tight, but the bottom portion seems to not be secure enough since they do not have screws.
I have a 2010 RX450h and live in Minnesota where it is hard to hand wash my car. The darn car washes tend to catch the front of my license plate frame and bend it and the license. I have tried several different plate frames and none worked. Minnesota plates are now the thin, non-stamped plates so they are very flimsy.
I even tried putting a plastic plate behind the license to make it more rigid but that failed too.
yesterday I got the idea to move the plate bracket on the front all the way down so it gives it a much cleaner look and doesn't obstruct the grille. To do so test mount the bracket on the lowest position, then have someone hold it. Then you take a 1/8 drill bit and make the two new wholes then put everything back together.

View 3 RepliesMy Ultra white IS350 is 15 months old, and when I took out the screws to my license plate today, I noticed a little bit of rust on the mounts (where the screws would go into).
I believe this is a pretty common issue for all cars - essentially, the mount was sprayed with body paint, but the paint would be stripped when you put a screw in. It's just a matter of time before that happens.
I am just concerned it would rust through my trunk if I continue to leave it.
FYI: I already use stainless steel screws
