At the last MOT, we picked up an advisory for one of the numberplate lights not working. The Berlingo has two, which is why we scraped through. But, it needed to be fixed, and last weekend was the time to do it.
According to Haynes, you have to take the cover over the top of the plate to do this. I have replaced a bulb before now, and was sure I hadn't bothered with all this. Could I remember how?
Half an hour of poking and prodding later, I'd extracted the holder, but it won't pull out without removing any significant parts. I started to remove the inside panel, but broke two clips, so stopped that.
Then I looked back on this blog, and the answer is here.
Put a small screwdriver into the hole in the side, lever the top towards the light bulb, and it pops straight out. At least it did for me, on both covers. Once I remembered that, the job took around 5 minutes, and I replaced both bulbs with nice LED versions.
Thanks you past Phil. I should pay more attention to you.
