How to Replace Rear License Plate Lights with LED Lights

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: License plate light

The process is actually very simple. Just use a flathead screwdriver to pry as shown in the video to disengage the entire light socket for the license plate light. Next, disconnect the power connector and proceed to replace the bulb with your preferred LED model. Reinsert the light socket into the housing and perform the same steps on the second light.
Now, perform a quick test by turning on the vehicle's parking lights and check that everything works normally.

The video refers to the BMW 5 Series, but the procedure is the same for practically all cars.
