Licenses plate bulb out, not bulb, and I know how to use search

Read a lot about corrosion back there. What the heck is the name of the screwdriver I need to take the assembly apart? Torx? Size? It is kind of a star shaped female. Not Hex.

A least I can try to dig around and see if I can fix it before Tuesday as I go in for an oil change and Level II.

Thanks

Weasel will become famous soon enough
When they do the inspection II they will throw that bulb in there for ya as that is part of the inspection checklist. So don't fret over that.

And you should also get a hungry mechanic's estimate on whatever 'ol girl might need in terms or wearing suspension parts, forming leaks, etc... in which case you can check around the forum to see what of it you would be comfortable with as DIY to save some hard earned $$$.
