License plate bulb housing's...

Hi gang,

Anybody else have any difficulties removing the bulb housing form the bumper to replace the bulb? Early onset dementia has reared its ugly head and I cannot remember how to remove it without damaging the housing. Both of mine are cracked and I am really not wanting them completely broken..

Thanks Gents and Ladies..

Remove the bulb from behind the bumper. Just turn 180 degrees and it should pull straight out.

If they do break - most auto parts shops have them for about $20 a piece in either chrome or black.

Big papa, not to hijack your thread but I just wanted to say that I LOVE your signature. Seriously considering making that slogan into a t-shirt or something.

No Prob Karl, this was the slogan on our recovery vehicle when my son raced Junior Dragsters.. We have some old team shirts that say this...

Got a lot of "what does that mean?"

I thought the same thing when I changed my bulbs to 194 LED's. There isn't much room to put your hand/arm but it can be done.

The LED's I got are much brighter than the standard bulb and should last me about forever since I don't drive that much at night.
