To replace the number plate light, you need to remove the bulb holder (located below the VOLVO lettering) by unscrewing the relevant fixing screw and disengaging the elastic side tab. Once the bulb holder is removed, extract the old bulb (T5 fitting type) and insert the new one: if using an LED bulb, ensure it lights up; otherwise, rotate the bulb's position in the holder (for LED bulbs, it is crucial to respect the polarity).

Once you confirm it works correctly, reassemble the bulb holder.
