Simply remove the cover with a small screwdriver and remove the bulb.

That doesn't give you a exterior lamp fault, I don't know of any that truly work.

I don't get the need to "advertise" my License Plate, am I the only one?
I've noticed alot of folks on the road doing it, and not always the best drivers, it's like playing Tag with the LEO!!
