Replacing license plate bulb

[PositiveTom]

Hi guys,

Just put my 69-plate MG ZS EV through it's MOT and it passed with one advisory - the license plate bulb.

I looked at the manual and got a new matching bulb, but it seems clear as mud on how to actually replace it.

Are there any useful guides or videos anywhere on how to do this? I've had a quick look on YouTube but nothing seemed to jump out at me.

Thanks in advance!

Like I said, I did look in the manual, but it wasn't very clear or useful. Something about removing the bumper.

You can reach the lampholder by lay down on the ground, take your arm under the rear bumper, and feel your way to the lampholder. Then squize the leap at one side off the lampholder and push it down.
