Hi, I’m Mike from 1A Auto. We’ve been selling auto parts for over 30 years!

Change the license plate light bulbs. It'd be the same for both sides. It needs a plastic paring tool. You can get this from 1AAuto.com. Get behind this black plastic trim. Pop it out. Put that aside.

You're going to have to move this out. So actually it's easier to push it this way, and then sort of slide it out. Get it around that little hook part and pull it out. Turn this counterclockwise to unlock it. Pull the bulb out.

This one actually needs to be changed. It's a 194 peanut bulb. Pull it right out.

Push the new bulb right into the socket. Take the lens. Turn it clockwise to lock it. Push this side in first. Actually no, it's got to go in this way. Catch that little hook there and then snap into place. I'll push the cover back on. That will click into place. I'll do the same for the other side.
