This
automotive "how-to" guide was specifically written to assist owners
of the 12th generation (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 & 2014) Ford F-150 truck in changing a
burnt out license plate light bulb or upgrade them to brighter LED
units. Owners of other F-Series trucks or other Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles such as the Super Duty F-250, F-350, F-450, Expedition, Explorer, Edge, Escape, E-150, E-250, E-350, Transit Connect, Flex, MKX, MKT, Navigator and Mountaineer may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. A replacement license plate light bulb is part # 194 from manufacturers such as Sylvania, GE, Philips, Eiko, PIAA, and ACDelco. If you would like to have brighter license plate lights, buy some compatible 194 LED bulbs. No tools are needed to replace the two license plate light bulbs. |

Pull Out Old # 194 Bulb |
License Light Bulb Housing |
The first step is
to move to the side of the truck with the burnt out license plate light
bulb. Then look under the rear bumper and locate the light grey bulb socket. Rotate the socket 1/4 turn counter clockwise before pulling it straight out of the light housing. Pull the old bulb straight out of the socket and push in a new # 194 bulb. You may also use any other compatible miniature wedge base bulbs such as the # 168, 175, 2825 or W5W. |
