There are two plastic cups above the lisence plate. You'll need a phillips screwdriver. You unscrew them and pull the cup down. It's only held on by suction at this point. Once it's off you can pull the bulb out.
Don't let rust scare you. Did you even TRY? -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

They're some other number but 194 fits perfect. To the best of my knowledge it is illegal in most states to change the visibility of the plate in any way - including burned out bulbs, plastic covers over plate and I'm pretty sure changing the color is enough at least to write you a ticket and mess with you about you're other mods. But IDK for sure.

up here the law is you cant have any obstruction of your plates..even the like "midtown toyota" plate frames, illegal. But for bulbs you need white. What i did was got a set of PIAA GTX 168 bulbs for both my celica and SIR. They look like the plate bolts on the new IS350s. Really nice.
