What is the License Plate Light all about?

These are the light bulbs that illuminate your car’s front and rear license plates. Some cars have one per plate; others have two.

Traditionally, they have been incandescent; i.e., lit by heating the filament. These bulbs are inexpensive and provide good clean light. However, they die quickly and are highly inefficient, losing up to 90 percent of their power as heat.

Some studies suggest that LEDs, or light emitting diodes, provide drivers with safer night time illumination. An LED is a form of transistor that emits light when current is applied. LEDs are very insensitive to vibrations, have a long life, light up much quicker than incandescent bulbs, are extremely compact, run cool, and provide more light per supplied watt than incandescent light bulbs. Plus, they are high efficient. However, LEDs are more expensive.

Keep in mind:

Bulbs must be white -- other colors are not legal.
Bulbs must illuminate the plate so that it can be read from 50 feet away.
Bulbs must be wired to come on when the headlights or parking lights are on.

How it's done:

The license plate light cover is removed
The license plate light bulb is removed from the socket and checked for replacement
The new bulb is installed into the socket
The light cover is reinstalled
The license light is checked for proper operation

Our recommendation:

According to the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, LEDs use less than half the wattage compared to their incandescent counterparts.
It's hard to notice if your license plate lights are burnt out until a police officer pulls you over and gives you a summons to fix it, so periodically check them yourself after sundown.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the License Plate Light?

How important is this service?

License plate lights are essential. Most states have a law requiring that every vehicle must be equipped with a rear lighting system, including rear lamps, rear reflectors, stop lamps, and license plate lights.

Mercedes-Benz CLK320 V6-3.2L - Oil/Fluid Leak - Raleigh, North Carolina

I recommend Ajay anytime to all my Friends and Family. If I need and more services I would prefer and like only Ajay to work on my vehicle. Did a great job was very honest and seen the issue with my car leaking and didn’t need parts for what the other tech said I needed. Also seen the other tech didn’t do the right thing to my vehicle and messed it up and Ajay fixed it with out a issue and showed me the problem with it and am very satisfied with Ajay mechanic skills and service.

Mercedes-Benz CLK320 V6-3.2L - R&R CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR - Bowie, Maryland

Jerome is an excellent mechanic. He is knowledgeable and gives you the full detail of what is going on with your vehicle and recommendations to fix it. He won't tell you need more than what is necessary and that type of integrity is hard to find and reminds me that if I do need to have a follow up I would request him again. I was very happy that he was able to get my 19 old Mercedes running after it had not been touched in 3 years! I'm sure it was a challenge but, I'm glad he was up for it. I think if you are lucky to get him you should book him because he may not be available the next time you need him. He handled my car in two phases including a full diagnostic work up, battery installation, and a new sensor. I was also surprised and grateful that it did not break the bank this time. Thanks again JEROME...YOU ARE AWESOME!
