Toyota Yaris in changing a burnt out license plate light bulb.

The compatible replacement light bulb part number is 2825. You can also use a brighter 2825 LED bulb. The only tool needed to access and replace the bulbs is a small flathead screwdriver. |

 Lens Cover Removed |
 Old Light Bulb Exposed |
 Pull Out Old Light Bulb |
| Insert the
screwdriver in to one of the notches on the sides of the license plate light
bulb lens cover. Gently move the screwdriver towards the other side of the lens cover to release the retaining clip. You may need to re-insert the screwdriver in to the other notch and pry again to release the lens cover. Pull off the lens cover and set it aside in a safe place. If the old bulb was recently turned on, be careful since it might still be hot enough to burn your fingers. Pull the old light bulb straight out of the socket. |
