just a simple DIY for those noobs (i know i am) who wants to start doing simple DIY to their own car. remember its the subtle things and count :P "LESS IS MORE" haha
Aim: change your dull yellow looking number plate light.
Equipment:
+ screw drive
+ clean cloth
+ T10 parker bulbs (purchased MTEC ones from Liquidsound from ozhonda)
Steps:
1/ Take out your number plate bulbs ; located above the number plate. there should be two, ill just do one for this DIY.
2/ Remove the two philip screws highlighted in red in the picture below.
3/ Gently take out the holder, it should come straight downwards. NOTE: due to age, some might be a little hard to take out and may require some force. just be careful.
4/ Once out, undo the bulb holder but turn it clock-wise shown in the picture below.
Here are some extra step to clean the plastic casing so more light shines through.
5/ Remove the rubber around the plastic casing carefully.
should look something like this after you removed it.
6/ use your clean towel and some detergent or water, just rub clear casing clean. remember to do both inside and out.
7/ put the casing back into one piece with the rubber around the outside.
8/ remove the T10 bulb from the holder by pulling it out. NOTE: dont touch the glass bit of the bulb as it will get greasy.
9/ now simple just put in your new bulb and reverse the steps. and do the same to the other side.
Here are some comparison photos and final result.

Other Comments:
the white parkers make cars (especially white) look like new and i love it. Match it with some EK9 taillights, your car will look awesome at night.
Thanks yo Liquidsound for supplying me with his MTEC T10 parkers! cheers
