    I want to put LED bulbs in my 2017 Tacoma license plate lights.

    1) What LED bulb do I need to buy?

    2) How do I install them? Do I do it from behind the bumper or do I pry the clear lens out?

    Thanks for your expertise!

    You do it from inside the bumper but you need small hands to get in there.

    It's easy. Reach in and twist. Counterclockwise if i remember correctly. Need small hands though. Or a lot of patience. Lots of threads on led bulbs here. I used these from Wal-Mart. Love them.20190529_201023.jpg 20190529_202138.jpg
    Right side is led. Picture taken during daylight. Much bigger differenceat night.
