In today's video, you will see how to replace the number plate bulbs in the Subaru Forester with new LED units of the same type, which are more energy-efficient. It is advisable to work after the headlights have been off for at least half an hour, so the bulbs are cool.

Proceed by pivoting in the opening area, using a plastic spatula if necessary. Remove the old bulb and replace it with a new LED bulb of the same type, equipped with an integrated resistor to avoid false errors.

Then, reassemble.
