Thanks, I can't believe it will be that hard to change the license plate buble. A lot harder than W203.... lol

i just did mine in about 20 minutes by removing the outside 4 pop clips on each side to pry back a bit on the liner and gain access. the only problem is how tight of a fit the hids are in the housing...you can barley twist the socket back into place looks good tho!

Third tool down. You can find one in pretty much all hardware stores. Pretty useful for our 204s since there are so many pressure pins holding everything together.

Please note these instructions are incomplete for the JBSPEED LED replacements. This thread is specifically for bulb replacements.

The JBSPEED LEDs replace the bulb and the housing, which requires the extra step of removing the exterior trunk handle (a total of 4 extra screws, two on the handle on the exterior, and two on the inside). There are DIY instructions for that elsewhere on this forum.

I tried to pry of the exterior trunk handle and scratched the paint slightly. My own fault for not being patient and checking back when the install was not working out, another DIY lesson I should know by now, lol...

I used a flat head screw driver, I small one to pry those b*tches off lol. Luckily enough i have done it twice and have still been able to reuse each fastener.
