Two are used to illuminate number plate

12V 5W Capless 10mm WDG/Base

As a guide:
Many lamps are secured with a screw, remove screw.
Lift lamp lens away from bodywork from the 'screw' end.

If lamp has no visible screws, the lamp may be clipped in.
To remove look for a flat recess to accept a small flat blade screw driver, to remove push the lamp toward the other end (this squashes the spring clip inside), then prize the lamp away from bodywork.

Twist bulb holder from lamp lens
Pull bulb from holder and insert new bulb.
If the bulb feels loose, use a small screw driver to compress metal contacts towards each other (ensure sidelights are off!), then reinsert bulb.
Then refit.

Top tip with modern cars.
If you have 'blown a fuse' and one side of the vehicle lights are not working and all fuses are intact and everyone is telling you to visit the dealer to be 'plugged in' try this trick.

Engine off, vehicle unlocked with drivers door open
Locate battery
Disconnect both battery terminal wires from battery terminals (negative first) ensuring wire terminals cannot contact the battery terminals.

Now for the 'trick'

Place a metal object (spanner, screwdriver)etc from the negative wire terminal to the positive wire terminal hold for ten seconds.
Reconnect wire terminals to battery terminals(positive first).
At no point should a metal object touch both battery terminals as this will result in an immediate fire.
