Best Answer

1. Open the trunk and reach behind/above the license plate to find the backside of the two licence plate lights.

2. Turn them each about an 1/8 of a turn to remove the light and an associated plastic housing. Remove the lights from the plastic housings (this was difficult ... apparently they get stuck with age). Replace the old lights with new ones purchased at an auto parts store.

3. Put the plastic housings with new lights back into from where they came.
