tim03ss Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Well thanks to getting pulled over late Friday night i had to go and replace my license plate lamps on my SS. Both were burned out. Took me a while to figure out how to get them out. Couldn't figure out how to get through that little hole in the frame underneath. Then i finally figured out they're attached to the whole bumper cover which completely comes off. At least i figured it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texashawgss Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 how did you guys get the covers off? i was told to just squeeze the top and bottom but it's hard as hell and i don't want to break anything.. i was also told to try prying them off with a screw driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought u had to change them from the lil holes in the underside of the bumper which I couldnt get my fingers in there. I was gonna use a pair of rubber tiped pliers so I didnt break anything. So how do those lil covers come off on the outside of the bumper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how do those lil covers come off on the outside of the bumper? i was told to squeeze the top and bottom together by a few other members here. i tried and it was a no go . i haven't messed with it for a few days.. but think i'm gonna try the screwdriver next to try and take it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_aSSet Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 You have to be EXTREMLY careful when using a flat head, i wrapped the tip in a shop rag and did it like that, the first time it worked great, the second time i rushed and broke it little plastic clip. be patient and be CAREFUL! one slip and ur out 36 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firehawknwv Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I changed mine yesterday and found them real easy to get off. I thougth u had to pinceh the top and bottom together to get them off but u actually have to pinceh the rfont of the light towards the tailgate and the back of the light to get them to come out. When you pinch them they just pop out with ease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwest94 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I had one burned out and forgot to change it before state inspection the other day. Hell, I forgot it was even burned out since it's been months since I last drove the thing. The dealer replaced it and charged me $9.99 labor and .48 cents for the bulb. What A Rip Off! They also replaced my one brake light bulb because they said it didn't light up, which could of been true. It actually does work, you just have to hit the light or fender to get it working. There is a short in the socket I guess. So the dealer charged me $9.99 for labor and $5 for the bulb. So I paid 25 bucks for two f'en light bulbs and the root of the problem with the brake light is still untouched. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
