Learn how to replace the number plate bulb on a Skoda Octavia. Open the boot and unscrew the two small screws clearly shown in the video.

After doing this, reinsert the light unit into its housing and screw the two screws back in. It couldn't be simpler! As you can see, this is a very straightforward task, accessible even to less experienced mechanics.
