Its very easy and you will save $$. My dealer wanted $45 for what turned out to be a 5 minute job and $1.99 for 2 license plate bulbs from the auto parts store! That gave me the motivation to figure it out myself! Here's how you do it: With a flat head screwdriver, slide the flat head under the lens of the license plate light FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE. Why the drivers side? Because the metal clip holding the lens & bulb assembly to the vehicle is on the drivers side on BOTH license plate lamps. Work the flat head into the lens and the lens and the attached bulb assembly will come away from the vehicle. The bulb is held in by 2 contact plates. Push on one of the contact plates and the bulb will come free. Replace the bulb and push back the entire assembly into the vehicle. I also used a pair of pliers to help remove the assembly from the vehicle.
