License plate bulb
- Thread starter AARON
- Start date
If its a saloon easy fix.At the top of number plate you will see a coloured trim the same colour as your car.
This needs to be prised off with a small flat screwdriver.Be careful not to scratch it i use a cloth over the driver.
Once this is removed just prise out on 1 corner the plastic housing of 1 of the 2 lights and you will see the lamp plugged in.
Its a 501 fitment this is also shown in the Honda manual if you have one.

As Brett has said.
An alternative way to remove the colour coded plate is from the inside of the boot lid, you should see the points of the clips, squeeze them together and push through.
A bit tricky and more work, but an alternative if your not good/ confident at prising things off.

Can these bulbs be changed to an ice white colour bulb or LEDs?
I've seen some Audi's and Mercs with nice ice white licence plate lights- they would look pretty cool on the accord..

I've these: "2X 5 SMD LED HID White 194 501 R501 W5W sidelight bulbs" They work fine.

I notice on these LED's they shine both vertical and horizontal - is this best or would downfacing LEDs not be better? Im not sure which direction the bulb sits in the socket
With the type of bulbs I have it gives a nice even light around the plate. The bulb points downwards. If you were to use some bulbs with all the LEDs on the bottom, like this here, then I'd imagine you would get a cone type shape emitting from the lights over the plates ... which would result in it being brighter overall.
