changing no plate lights on dc5

**najdi** · 14-02-2010 09:26 PM

Hey guys i attacked this the other day its verrrrry easy took 2 minutes but some people out there might not now how to do it..

Tools:
1 ciggy
t10 white led bulbs or whatever colour you want...u need 2 of them
maybe some degreaser
flatblade screwdriver

anyways

Step 1:

go to the rear of car...look directly on top of your number plate you will see two black things ( i will update with pictures later on)

step2:

push them gently away from you not towards and they should unclip off the bumper, do this for each 1 then theyl just hang

Step3:

grab flathead screwdriver and gently take the cover off ( mine was very dirty and un-clear so i grabed some degreaser and cleaned it up and MAKE SURE you let it dry or dry it by hand..

Step4:

remove previous t10 bulbs, replace with new white led bulbs...turn parkers on to test if there working...smile a little bit and say **** this is mad then repeat steps in order of removal...it will just clip str8 back on..VERY EASY

and thats it...1 thing i noticed was...buy decent t10 bulbs ebay 1s for 5 bux keep blowing or flicker and dont sit right...go autobarn or supercheap and pay 15 and you will notice the difference this is just a personal preferance tho..

Anyways enjoy i can send pictures upon request...

enjoy

No one can delete/edit your posts besides admins/moderators.

If someone buy's a DC5, they should seriously get their head checked if they can't change their number plate bulbs.
