how to replace the license plate bulb on a 2004 Honda cr-v
Remove the plastic cover on the outside and just pull the bulb out
Remove the screws from the lens covering the bulb, pull out the bulb and replace it.

Oldsmobile stopped making Alero in 2004 and GM stopped making Oldsmobile in 2004, so some mistake here?
You must remove the entire tailight panel - remove trunk liner and the recessed nuts.
I have a 94 not sure if they are the same but behind the license plate was mine Good luck Answer Improvement (Sept 5. 2010) Remove 4 license plate screws and licence plate Remove 4 hex head screws that hold the license plate/backup light assembly Rotate the license plate/backup light assembly around 180 degrees so you can get to the light bulb holders Carefully turn bulb holders 1/4 and remove bulb holder Carefully remove old bulb and replace with new bulb (#194) Reverse these step to reassemble
You need to unscrew the whole cover panel for license plate.
Ask your car dealer...
You need a torx screwdriver....
you buy a new one
Raise the trunk lid...you will see the lights on each side of the license plate...use Phillips screw driver to remove and replace bulb. Just did this takes about 2 minutes.
