This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the revised first generation (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 &
2011) GM Chevrolet Aveo in changing a burnt out license plate light
bulb or upgrading both bulbs to brighter LED bulbs. Owners of other General Motors vehicles such as the Buick Verano, Regal, LaCrosse, Cascada, Encore, Enclave, Envision, GMC Canyon, Sierra 1500, Terrain, Yukon, Denali, Savana, Spark, Sonic, Cruze, Malibu, Impala, Volt, Camaro, Corvette, SS, Trax, Equinox, Traverse, Tahoe, Suburban, Colorado, Silverado and Express may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. A replacement bulb is part number 2825 (also 168 or W5W). If you would like to have brighter license plate lights, install some compatible 2825 LED bulbs. The only tool needed to access and replace the bulbs is a Phillips head screwdriver. |
