how to access the license plate bulb to replace it?
#1
Figured it out! how to access the license plate bulb to replace it?
OK...the "bomb lightbulb" warning is coming on when I put on my headlights, and walking around the car the only bulb I see out is the left license plate lamp. It seems to be angled in but I can't figure out exactly HOW to get the bulb out to replace it?
The lens moves if you push on it, and I don't want to break anything so I figured I'd ask a dumb question before damagine anything. Oh, and is the replacement the GE C5WPB2 bulb? Thanks!
UPDATE: So, even though there are screws and such, it seems that the lens just basically tilts out/down to get to the bulb. It's not easy access, and having small finger tips helps to make it possible, but the bulb just comes out and I found new ones at Autozone for $5.69. May all repair issues be similar!
