How do you change a license plate light in an Impala model year 2000 through 2005?

Answer 1

Its not too complicated.

1. Look on under side of bumper, you will see four 7mm bolts holding two light assemblies in place.

2. Loosen these four bolts but don't remove them. A 1/4 or 1/2 inch ratchet with a 7mm socket will expedite the process.

3. Slide the assemblies toward body of the car (about 1 inch) so they are loose. The bolts ride in a slot.

4. Slide a loose light assembly toward the other light and gently pull out so the assembly is hanging free of the bumper with about 4 inches of wire. You'll see the opening in the bumper housing is wider in the space between the lights. I needed to gently push up on bumper housing plastic to get the assembly out, but then it came out quite readily. Repeat this step so both light assemblies are hanging loose.

5. Twist the black bulb holder one quarter turn on the back of the assembly and pull, this separates the weather cover from the bulb.

6. Push the bulb down against the spring and then pull back out, it should separate relatively easily.

Note: Total time was about 5 minutes to replace two bulbs. The specs call for #194 bulbs. Check your local auto supply; I paid $1.56 for two bulbs. With the bolts in place but loose they will slide right in, following these directions in reverse. These directions work on all Impalas made from 2000 through 2005.

Oh, dude, changing a license plate light on an Impala from 2000 to 2005 is like, so easy. You just gotta grab a screwdriver, unscrew the old light, pop in the new one, and bam, you're good to go. It's like changing a lightbulb, but, you know, for your car's butt.

To change the license plate light in a Chevrolet Impala model year 2000 through 2005, you will first need to locate the light housing behind the license plate. Next, you will need to twist the light socket counterclockwise to remove it from the housing. Once the socket is removed, you can replace the old bulb with a new one and then reinsert the socket back into the housing by twisting it clockwise. Finally, test the new light to ensure it is working properly.
