Changing a license plate bulb is a simple task that can be completed in a few minutes. A license plate light illuminates the license plate, making it visible to other drivers, especially at night. A burned-out license plate light can result in a ticket, so it’s important to replace it as soon as possible.
You will need a replacement bulb and a screwdriver to change a license plate bulb. First, locate the screws that hold the license plate light assembly in place. There are usually two screws, one on each side of the assembly. Remove the screws and carefully pull the assembly out of the bumper.
