Replacing the front end bra (Lebra brand)

To remove the bumper cover on a 2002 Cadillac Escalade to access the license plate assembly, you'll need some basic tools and follow these steps:
**Note:** Be sure to take necessary safety precautions, and if you're uncomfortable doing this yourself, consider consulting a professional mechanic.
1. **Gather Tools and Materials:**
- Screwdrivers
- Socket set
- Pliers
- Trim removal tool (or flathead screwdriver)
2. **Raise the Vehicle:**
- For easier access, you can raise the front end of your vehicle using a jack and support it with jack stands.
3. **Remove the Wheel Well Liners (Optional):**
- Depending on your vehicle and access, you may need to remove the wheel well liners to reach the bumper attachment points. These are typically held in place with plastic clips or screws.
4. **Remove Retaining Clips and Screws:**
- Locate and remove the screws, clips, or fasteners holding the bumper cover in place. These are typically found along the top and sides of the bumper.
- Use a trim removal tool or a flathead screwdriver to carefully pry out the clips.
5. **Disconnect Fog Lights (if applicable):**
- If your vehicle has fog lights integrated into the bumper cover, disconnect the wiring harnesses.
6. **Detach the Bumper Cover:**
- Carefully start detaching the bumper cover from the vehicle by gently pulling it away. Work your way around the bumper to release the clips or fasteners.
7. **Remove the License Plate Assembly:**
- Once the bumper cover is loosened, you should have access to the license plate assembly.
- Remove the screws or fasteners securing the license plate assembly, and detach it from the bumper cover.
8. **Install the New License Plate Assembly:**
- Attach the new license plate assembly to the bumper cover, using the same screw holes or fasteners.
9. **Reattach the Bumper Cover:**
- Align the bumper cover properly, and carefully push it back into place, making sure it clips securely.
10. **Reattach Retaining Clips and Screws:**
- Put back the screws and retaining clips in their respective locations along the top and sides of the bumper cover.
11. **Reconnect Fog Lights (if applicable):**
- Reconnect the wiring harnesses for the fog lights.
12. **Reinstall Wheel Well Liners (if removed):**
- If you removed the wheel well liners, reinstall them and secure them with the clips or screws.
13. **Lower the Vehicle:**
- Carefully lower your vehicle from the jack stands if you raised it.
Remember to take your time, work carefully, and document the disassembly process if necessary. If you're unsure about any step, it's always a good idea to consult your vehicle's repair manual or seek professional assistance.

1. Remove the lamp socket from the license plate lamp.

1. Using a suitable tool, through the access hole, release the clips and remove the license plate lamp.

can you rich from trunk,maybe has clips.

for a simple item like that, get it from a local scrapyard. Holes are already where they need to be as it would actually be very expensive to make "special runs" of bumpers for areas that don't use front plates. (same goes for wiring harnesses...they are made with plugs for all options and whatever does not get ordered is just not plugged in. Shouldn't cost you more than $5.00!!!

The driver's side fuse block is to the left of the steering

wheel, under the instrument panel.

Snap off the cover to reveal the fuses. You'll find a fuse

puller clipped to the inside of the cover. Place the wide

end of the fuse puller over the plastic end of the fuse.
Squeeze the ends over the fuse and pull it out.

The Parking lamps and running lights and license plate lights all run off the same fuse, it is fuse 8c in the above fuse box

drill holes and put clips in to screw to AUTO ZONE

I had the bracket upside down was the problem and now is attached properly

License Plate Lights Removal & Installation License plate lamp retainer clips

To Remove:
Remove or disconnect the following:

1. License plate
2. Pin-type retainers and the luggage compartment lid trim panel
3. License plate lamp electrical connector
4. Lamp socket from the license plate lamp
5. Using a suitable tool, through the access hole, release the clips and remove the license plate lamp

To Install:

1. Install or connect the following:
2. License plate lamp
3. Lamp socket to the license plate lamp
4. Electrical connector
5. Luggage compartment lid trim panel
6. License plate

The manual says switch off the lights and disconnect the battery. Then "Open trunk lid. Press and slide license plate light outward and remove". The photo shows that there is a clip on the side of the light away from the center, and a notch that fits the body on the side towards the center. So what you are doing is pushing the light holder towards the side of the car far enough to compress the clip and get the notch past the metal, then the inner edge of the light hold should lift out. To install, just put the notched end in first and the press the outer edge until the clip snaps into place.
