hi. im new to this site. but i was just wondering if anyone could direct me on how to remove and replace the bulb for the license plate because im having a hardtime with that. i want to replace it with white LED. thanks. btw i have an 05' if theres even a difference

 

well on my all i did was squueeze the sides of the plasti peice and it came off then u just pull the light out and stick one in takes about 30 seconds

 

Anyone have a pic of their bumper taken off and able to show exactly where it is that you squeeze? I've tried this a few times with no avail. Peeps have said push toward the front of the car. Others have said pull/push. Sounds like they're breaking it if indeed you just squeeze.

 

you guys are talking about the little plastic light cover on the rear bumper right? if so then theirs no latch or anything to take it off, u just have to gently squeeze two sides together then pull and it undoes it then u can take the light bulb out easily and replace it. and you dont have to undo the whole bumper..

 

oh aiight. sounds easy enough. haha ill try it today. thanks

 

Its easy enough to take the rear bumper off only a total of.....10 bolts i think the 5 under the trunk lid 3 underneath and 1 on either side at the edge of the bumper. I am good at taking things apart but not necessarily back together haha

 

Its kinda hard to remove, but keep at it witha Flat head srewdriver
Work it a lil off on the left then a lil off on the right and finally pull it out.
I did the led light mod, looks badass

 

what is the led light mod? can u get a picture of this? it sounds interesting

 

Does this LED light mod have any similarity to the new Lexus IS lighting ?
I know they are a unique type of bulb, but is the lighting similar ?

 

i have a 06 S and replaced the rear license plate light with a white LED and its not as bright as stock but looks realy clean white/clear color.. sinces its only one LED its not bright but i like it ..

friends got a tC with two leds and mines still brighter cuz its in the middle

the new IS is bright but why would u want ppl seeing it lol light cops. besides when they are behind u.. headlights light them up


lol i replaced to LEd with no tools.. but than again i work on cars at a toyota dealership.. i knoe drive a honda work on toyotas.. i like hondas for cars and toyotas for trucks.. new tundras awesome..
