Using your clean fingers, remove the bulb housing from the roof from the Right side. My roof has custom upholstry, so it came out probably easier than factory. It just basically clips in and out like the trunk light.

Good Luck


how do those super whites look? I've thought about getting them.. did you use any resistors or anything? What's the part number for the superwhites... I'm goin down the road to get them asap lol

i thought mine was out as well, but wen i took it to the dealer they said just play wit it a little, adjust it. make sure the gold metals are lined up properly and it'll cut back on. so u should try that first.

Do you have the bulb number? That would simplyfy things greatly.

Do you know the length of the license plate bulbs?
