There are two lights above the rear license plate of the 2007 to 2010 Ford Edge. Replacement bulbs for both lights are part # 168 from Sylvania and other manufacturers.

If you would like to have brighter license plate lights, install some compatible 168 LED bulbs.

The only tool needed to remove the license plate light bulb housing is a small flathead screwdriver or a plastic pry bar tool.

It's also possible to just use your fingers, a butter knife, a coin or similar item.

There is a small white plastic tab on the outer side of each bulb housing facing towards the outside of the vehicle.

Gently push on this tab while applying some downward pressure to remove the housing from the vehicle.

Pull the old # 168 light bulb straight out from the socket.

If it doesn't come out easily, try wiggling it while pulling on the bulb.

If necessary, you can also use any other miniature wedge base bulbs such as the 158, 2825, 194, W5W or a compatible LED unit.

Insert the side of the light bulb housing closest to the center of the vehicle first and then raise up the side that has the white plastic clip.

Push it into the vehicle until it clicks into place. Double check that the housing is secure before driving the vehicle.
