This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the second generation 2015, 2016 and 2017 Chrysler 200
sedan in changing a burnt out license plate light bulb or upgrading
them both to brighter LED bulbs. Owners of other Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, RAM or Fiat vehicles such as the 300, Pacifica, Town & Country, Avenger, Charger, Challenger, Journey, Dart, Durango, Magnum, Grand Caravan, Fiat 500, Fiat 124 Spider, Grand Cherokee, Renegade, Wrangler, Compass, Liberty, Patriot, ProMaster, 1500 and C/V Tradesman minivan may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. The compatible replacement miniature wedge base light bulb part number is 2825 (also known as # W5W). The only tool needed to access and replace the license plate light bulbs is a standard Phillips head screwdriver. |

Be careful when you
remove the old light bulb. If the light bulb was recently turned on, it might still be hot enough to burn your fingers. |

Grasp the old light
bulb with your thumb and forefinger before pulling it straight out of the
