The compatible replacement miniature wedge base light bulb part number is 2825 (also known as W5W).

If you would like to have brighter license plate lights that will also last much longer before burning out like traditional incandescent bulbs, install some 2825 LED units.

The only tool needed to access and replace the bulbs is a small plastic pry bar tool or a flat head screwdriver.

The steps for removing the left (driver) side and right (passenger) side light housings are the same.

Locate the small black plastic tab on the right side of the light housing.

Gently push in the release tab with the flat head screwdriver or a plastic pry bar tool.

Rotate the base of the light bulb socket 1/4 turn in the counterclockwise direction before pulling it straight out of the housing.

Set the light housing aside in a safe place.

If you have trouble removing a stubborn old light bulb due to corrosion (rust) or debris in the socket, put on some gloves and try gently wiggling it back and forth while pulling it straight out.

Push a new number 2825 miniature wedge base light bulb straight into the socket.

If you would like to have brighter license plate lights that will last much longer before burning out like the traditional incandescent bulbs, install some compatible replacement 2825 LED bulbs.

First, re-insert the wires on the left side of the housing into the opening in the underside of the trunk lid.

Then pop in the retaining clip on the right side of the housing back into place.

To test the new light bulbs, turn on the parking lights or headlights, or press the "Unlock" button on the key fob to re-activate the exterior lights.

Tip - If you installed LED bulbs and they don't work, try removing them from the socket, rotate them 180 degrees and push them back into the socket. Some LED bulbs are "polarized" and will only work when the "+" positive and "-" negative electrical contacts are in the correct orientation.

Be sure to write down the bulb change in your car's service records.
