To access the number plate light bulb, open the boot and remove the carpet lining; at this point, you can extract the bulb holder and proceed with replacing the bulb (T5 fitting): simply pull it out to remove and insert the new one. Check for functionality and reposition the bulb holder in its place; finally, reattach the carpet lining by securing the plastic pressure clips.

The operation is very simple and quick, requiring no special precautions or tools.
