What is the License Plate Light all about?

These are the light bulbs that illuminate your car’s front and rear license plates. Some cars have one per plate; others have two.

Traditionally, they have been incandescent; i.e., lit by heating the filament. These bulbs are inexpensive and provide good clean light. However, they die quickly and are highly inefficient, losing up to 90 percent of their power as heat.

Some studies suggest that LEDs, or light emitting diodes, provide drivers with safer night time illumination. An LED is a form of transistor that emits light when current is applied. LEDs are very insensitive to vibrations, have a long life, light up much quicker than incandescent bulbs, are extremely compact, run cool, and provide more light per supplied watt than incandescent light bulbs. Plus, they are high efficient. However, LEDs are more expensive.

Keep in mind:

Bulbs must be white -- other colors are not legal.
Bulbs must illuminate the plate so that it can be read from 50 feet away.
Bulbs must be wired to come on when the headlights or parking lights are on.

How it's done:

The license plate light cover is removed
The license plate light bulb is removed from the socket and checked for replacement
The new bulb is installed into the socket
The light cover is reinstalled
The license light is checked for proper operation

Our recommendation:

According to the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, LEDs use less than half the wattage compared to their incandescent counterparts.
It's hard to notice if your license plate lights are burnt out until a police officer pulls you over and gives you a summons to fix it, so periodically check them yourself after sundown.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the License Plate Light?

How important is this service?

License plate lights are essential. Most states have a law requiring that every vehicle must be equipped with a rear lighting system, including rear lamps, rear reflectors, stop lamps, and license plate lights.

Porsche Boxster H6-2.9L - Oil Change - Little Silver, New Jersey

Alex did a fantastic job with my vehicle. He was courteous, friendly, professional and clean. German sports cars can be complicated, but Alex took his time to explain the job and all his steps, which made me feel confident with his abilities. He was thorough with his assessment of the vehicle and gave me some valuable advice. This is someone I trust.

Porsche Boxster H6-2.7L - Brake Pads Replacement (Front) - Sunnyvale, California

Did a good brake pad and rotor replacement on my 2004 Boxster, very friendly and clear communication - not only did he call me with an estimated arrival time, you get a text that lets you track location while he's in transit. I think I was mentally expecting a guy in coveralls and a pickup and Pardeep pulled up very well dressed in a minivan, haha, but he had all the equipment he needed, floor jack and stands, impact wrench with compressor, and so on. We ended up not doing a full brake flush, so I called YourMechanic and they were great about removing it from the bill. I'd hire Pardeep again.
