Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

In this video, we're going to show you how to service (as well as replace) the entire license place light assembly on this 2003 Chevy Monte Carlo. The only items you'll need for this include a new license plate light from 1AAuto.com, a 7mm socket, and a ratchet.

Your license plate light is right here, and it's held in with two 7mm bolts. Just go ahead and loosen those up. You only need to loosen them about half way, and then the license plate light will pull down. To service the bulb, just twist the socket out counterclockwise, pull the bulb free, and push your new bulb in. If you're looking to replace the entire assembly we have them at 1AAuto.com, and you can see they're identical and they'll fit exactly the same.

You will have to swap over your bolts, however, and in our case we don't have the option of doing that because of the condition our bolts are in. You may need to find new screws. Otherwise, just swap your bolts over. Twist your socket clockwise into the assembly and then replace your bolts. Slide the assembly forward, back into place, and then tighten up your bolts.

We hope this video helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll-free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.
