Burned Rear License Plate Housing
Guys,

Have anyone of you ever burned your rear license plate housing?

My rear license plate bulbs went off this morning and I thought it might be the bulb just went off. However, the bulb looks fine, and the housing was burned.

Do you guys happen to know how to replace the rear license plate housing and might suggest me how to get the replacement part?

Thank you

You mean the license plate lens housing or the actual body colored surround, around the license plate itself?

You can get them from the dealer. It's about $50 for the pair and they're very easy to swap out. I've done it before and it was a piece of cake.

How do you remove the housing? Do I need to open the back cover of the trunk?
