Replacing the LED Number Plate Light Bulb on the Ford Fiesta

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: License plate light

Let's see how to proceed if the number plate light on our Ford Fiesta burns out or if we want to improve its efficiency. Using a flat screwdriver, detach the light above the number plate and once freed from its housing, rotate to remove the bulb holder. Replace the bulb with a new LED one and check its proper functioning by turning on the headlights. Unlike the old bulbs, the new LEDs require correct polarity: if they do not light up, simply pull them out and rotate them 90°. Reinsert the light in the correct housing and repeat the same process with the other side.
