and shipping was the bulk of the price. $5 IIRC
you squeeze two tabs on the inside of the trunk to pop the entire housing out of it's slot and then just swap bulbs. Easy as pie.

Where those the bulbs on the site that were for the instrument cluster?
Instrument bulbs are #74. If those are they, then yes.

Have fun with those license plate bulbs in 3 months when you get pulled over for having a strobe light show on your trunk.

that is the one mod i will never do. I'm never going to do the LED plate mod. just gives cops more of an advantage. But if my car is ever stolen.........
onder: The advantage would be useful in that case.

At the end of the day if the cops can't see your plate you are getting a ticket anyways...
