In today's video, see how to replace the blown bulbs for the number plate lights in the Subaru Outback. Remove the two screws for each individual cover and then pull it away.

You can now remove the transparent plastic cover and take out the burnt bulb. The bulb is a standard W5W bayonet type, which you can find almost anywhere (even in supermarkets, for example).

If you install an LED bulb, ensure it has the resistor to avoid unpleasant messages on the car's onboard computer. Now check if everything works and then proceed with reassembly.
