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 left light is the original bulb. Soon to be replaced |
 |
| 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 witch cable was plus and minus. The Green was positive, and the white/black negative. |
 |
| This is how it looks from inside. The holes for the number plate bulb holder you can see. |
 |
| Cleaned and painted, Filled the scraches with White 040 color. |
 |
| Here both light emitting diode lamps is in place. |
 |
| Preparing for changing bulb. |
 |
| Light is on, Will continue later. The paint has to dry. |
You will see the finished result in a couple of days.
