Change to LED Light on Starlet EP91, (Biltema Diodlampor)

Today I replaced the number plate bulb to a LED light Light Emitting Diode on my Toyota Starlet (EP91). This type of light consumes less power and will last much longer. I also cleaned behind the plastic grab and behind the number plate.

I used Biltema Diodlampor, T10 Wedge, White  (replaces W5W with rated power 5W, and socket version W2,1x9,5d, one was broken)

The price for the diode lamap was 90 swedish crones, that is about 15 dollars for two Led lamps.

Have removed the Plastic cover. Two bults and 2 sliding holder.

Have cleaned it and now removed number plate

Testing if the LED fits, the lamps are a few milimeters longer, but they fit inside the plastic holders fine.

The LED bulb must be connected to the correct polarity, Plus to positive. A little sign on the lamps shows the polarity. And berofe connecting I measured withc cable was plus and minus. The Green was positive.
