Number plate lights are indeed an essential element of the car. Naturally, the two small number plate lights can burn out, just like any other bulbs. Driving with burnt-out number plate lights is punishable.

This guide shows how to replace them very easily. First, check the maintenance manual to verify what type of bulb is needed.

Remove the burnt-out bulb and then insert the new one into its holder. The bulb should be ready for use, and you just need to turn on the ignition and operate the lights to check that the number plate lights are also on.
