licence plate light

[Slikk]

Hi Guys i got a 2001 camry CE and i need to change the light for the licence plate.

do i have to get the light assembly from the dealer? it seems as if you need to get the whole assemply and not just a bulb..

help appreciated

192 bulbs will do the job just pry off the two white glass pieces and change the bulbs you might want to take off the trunk carpet if needed

(is 192 a typo ? cause i've only see 194 bulbs and not 192 bulbs), u can get 194 bulbs from a lot of places. random websites, superbrightleds.com, or ebay (just search 194 bulbs). i looked at the manual and i can't find the bulb number. sorry

One of mine just went out as well, according to http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...lacementGuide/
License plate
2825
http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductD...artnumber=2825

2.50 seems pretty steep but it beats having to wait for days for an online purchase

But is this the same as the 192 or 194 bulb, whichever it is?

[Tom 2000]

The 194 bulb (3.2W) will fit, but the 2825 bulb (5W) is a little brigther. You can use 168s which are the same wattage (5W).

So what is the difference between a 168 bulb and a 2825 bulb?

I heard that the 2825 is brighter, but I really couldn't tell. I just used 168 super white bulbs in mine.

Find your bulb, ie 2825, 194, etc. Any bulb in the same table is compatible/interchangeable.

WAATTTT!

don't pry it!

all you need to do is (this is what i did):

1) open the trunk
2) you should be able to take out the bulb from inside the trunk (twist, turn and pull it out. Just like replacing your driving lights)
3) done!

lol maybe i was a little wreckless i pryed off the light/black tabs that holds them didnt break anything

my mistake yes it is the 194 bulbs

ehh you change it from the outside guys. wow has no one changed these before? aha

there are two black circular looking retaining 'bolts'. use a phillips screw driver and poke it in the center and the thing will come loose. then use a flat head to pry down the plastic light housing. It will come off easily.
I believe you can figure out how to put it back in.

i got some of these to make it look like the new is plate lights.

that's very bright

[nodrogkam]

actually the brightness is comparable with stock, it's just whiter. I didnt have a nice camera (taken in my college parking lot), so it just had a longer shutter. Other lights were slightly exaggerated. It does match my dome light tho!
