WLED 6-LED bulb
12 VDC 6-LED Wedge Base bulb (194/168 type)


This one will work also, just not sure if it will fit because of the size.

Bought some polarg m4's due to the thread's repliers' recommendation. How does one go about replacing the license plate lights, I removed the small plastic screws that were in the light's plastic cover but it wouldn't budge?

from what i remember on mine replacing it with polargs...

remove 2 screws on the lense cover. pop them out with a small flat head. lense should come off easy and has a rubber piece attached to it. bulb is easily replaced from there. the bulb sits at an angle and u cant see exactly how it sits but you can easily feel your way to how it should sit.

clean the lense while its out pop that sucker back in and your done.

on that note. its slightly warmer out today (damn you chicago) ill be taking pics in an hr or so after a quick rinse of the car.

He used the same exact type of bulbs.

Sorry i couldn't get around getting pictures of my own (thanks Rayn for using y0 SC for an example), been working and dealing with a MASS of electrical problems that just showed up on my car, all of a sudden.

adrian - yea i know good luck to you lol. go to that place henry said and take care of it

ryan - the door lights. i popped them out by hand in 1 second if that lol, super easy. just reach down and feel for the inner end of the lense and it should come off with little to no effort. i then pried the lense apart with a flat head since i couldnt get a good grip to just do it by hand. and presto switch bulbs and your done.

(do this with your door closed cause the first side i didnt and it got hotter and hotter and hotter till it hurt heh. oops.)

same bulb as lisc plate. polarg m4 "hyper white".
