Hi there,

There are two bulb containers above the license plate light and you just need a small screw driver to press in under the left side of the plastic bulb housing to release the plastic clip. The plastic bulb holder will swing from the right hand side and will then fall out. All you need is a medium size flat head screw driver.

You have to unscrew the housings with a philips screw driver and take the housing out of the hole, by turning it sideways and pulling it out. Then turn out the bulb holder from the back of the housing and pull out the bulb.

Hope this helps...

it will pop out if you use a very small screwdriver once popped,pull old bulb out and replace,these bulbs usually have no screwin and only need pulled out and push in.adrian,,,,

Hello, remove the rear license plate, remove the housing where the license plate was mounted, now you can see how to replace the bulbs.
