Changing license plate bulb?
My left bulb is out and I have the CHECK LICENSE LIGHT warning. Anyone have a DIY for changing this out and what bulb to use?


Thanks

Thanks. The manual specifies to use a 5watt bulb and doesn't specify which type. Anyone have an answer?

it's only held by 2 tabs and a spring clip, you have to push/slide lens towards one side and pull out, then you pull out your old bulb and find a match to replace it

New lexus's have these bulbs too and in my car it gives it a "newer" and updated look

post pics in a bit


and more details about them since i did get the original info from E46FANATICS.
