License plate bulb
Replace it if necessary because a burned-out license plate light bulb could result in a fine. Release the locking tab or unscrew the lens. Pull out the lightbulb socket by giving it a quarter turn. Replace the bulb by snapping it in.
Do the lights on the license plate turn on automatically?
When the headlights, either the main headlights or the parking light, are turned on, the license plate light is expected to come on as well. The solid light that illuminates the license plate can only be turned on or off. The license plate light will, however, frequently flicker. A loose cable or connection that supplies power to the license plate light is frequently the blame for this. Because a flickering light can be so distracting to other drivers on the road, this symptom can be quite dangerous. Additionally, it will get the police’s attention and probably lead to a “repair it ticket.”
To prevent this, it’s a good idea to go for a brief stroll once a week before taking a nighttime drive. Simply switch on your headlights, circle back to the back of your car, and check that the license plate light is brightly lit. It’s a good idea to get in touch with a nearby mechanic if it flickers so they can figure out what’s wrong and fix it as soon as possible.
