How to: Replace PJ license plate light?
Does anyone have a pointer or two as to how to replace the license plate bulb of a PJ? Do I simply pry the lens and bulb housing down? Or something else?

Well...since I have the whole thing here Ill just show you.
See the back of the light housing? See how it has a metal spring clasp on one side? Thats the side you pry up from. Now which side is that you ask??? Its the side that has the writing on it. Not the side with the round seal stamped into the clear plastic. Its the side on the left here:

Thank you, again! This is great information and will continue to be informative for years to come.
After following the comments (also removing the license plate & frame) I popped the housing and lens free. My bulb worked its way loose from the tabs. After placing the bulb back into place, it lit. While viewing the dimness of the bulb, I might look into an LED replacement. |

i'm a dumbass...the mustang rear license plate is different than the Saleen rear, hence different bulbs.

So what is the correct part number from Ford? Do you recommend the LED bulbs instead?

I am going to try a replacement 38mm festoon LED bulb. http://saleenforums.soec.org/showthread.php?t=6777 User 06281E gave some advise to look for LED assemblies with built in resistors. |

The OEM bulb is just a standard Philips C5W 12v 5 w bulb available at most automotive parts stores for approx. $2.00.

I went to my local Ford dealer and this part number is not the bulb its the entire lens assembly. Odd thing is the bulb in the lens assembly is not even he same as the one in the Saleens.

I cleaned the lens and installed my LED bulb tonight. Looks pretty good.

Here is what I went with.

The bulb is a form of white, I think the blue cast is less noticeable in-person, but it's there. After viewing more LED bulbs, there are many versions of "white." |
