Replacing License Plate Lamp Bulbs; Using The Right Bulbs - Ford 2001 Expedition Owner's Manual

Replacing license plate lamp bulbs

The license plate bulbs are located
behind the rear bumper. To change
the license plate lamp bulbs:
1. Reach behind the rear bumper to
locate the bulb.
2. Twist the bulb socket
counterclockwise and carefully pull
to remove it from the lamp
assembly.
3. Pull out the old bulb from the
socket and push in the new bulb.
4. Install the bulb socket in lamp assembly by turning it clockwise.

Using the right bulbs

Replacement bulbs are specified in the chart below. Headlamp bulbs must
be marked with an authorized "D.O.T." for North America and an "E" for
Europe to assure lamp performance, light brightness and pattern and safe
visibility. The correct bulbs will not damage the lamp assembly or void the
lamp assembly warranty and will provide quality bulb burn time.
