Default 08GX--License plate bulbs

Hey I was looking at the license plate bulbs but cannot figure how to get to them--I have some LED's I want to install. I think a few people have done it already.

Also--the parking lights(little dim ones) how does that connector come out--looking at in from underneath the bumper its a longer greyish color plug and it doesnt look like a twisty? Anyone changed out that bulb yet?

The Licence plate lights, its quite easy, Just need a Philips (-) screwdriver, and tape the edge of the screwdriver. Insert it to the edge facing the Licence Plate & give it a small push and rotate the screwdriver, the Whole light just comes out, Same way is the other end, Both holders needs the push on the edge facing the Licence plate. Replacing is easy, just rotate the holders which are in lock position ( have them anticlock wise rotated) replace the bulbs and rest do the reverse what you have done. The Licence plate bulb holders once done to put back in place needs to be done in a angle that it gets locked, It is easy once you see the stuff...cheers

Funny, Obviously the previous owner of my GX couldn't figure it out and just removed the plastic clear cover(probably broke it off). I know have bare bulbs hanging out. They still work, but I cant believe they would make it through the winter unprotected. Any quick fix? Like Autozone universal lenses and silicone? Looks like I need to order 2 lamp assemblies for appx. $100-OUCH. Anyone have the part# for these assemblies?
