License Plate Bulb

Hey Guys,

I've been getting the license plate bulb message for about week now, so I guess it's time to replace the bulb I tried searching, but I must be retarded (or special, as Josh says), because I can't find the bulb number I need. Can someone help me??

I guess I can get it at Salvos or Advance Auto Parts, right?

Thanks,
~Michelle~

I think its better to say special. I feel "retarded" is a horrible word that gets thrown around too much. I always catch myself saying it, and i just feel like an asshole after.

Aww Michelle needs sensitivity training.


I have a retarded cousin who is 19 and I don't feel bad at all dropping the word retarded. He is totally cool but does some really 'dumb' stuff....that he knows better not to do. But I guess some people get offended.....

It's only offensive if you use it in an offensive fashion IMO.

BTW yes I believe you can get the bulb anywhere...take the bulb out and go to an auto parts store.

It only says that it's a 5 watt bulb. Pull it out and take it in to match it up

You might want to look for any corrosion - my '01 showed leaking on the right side and kept burning out - had to replace the whole assy which includes painting it to match your car ~$240

your (x's) mileage? - most of my x's bulbs burned out between 50K-53K
