2000 Chevrolet Blazer - License Plate Light Socket

Where is My License Plate Light Bulb Socket?

The license plate light bulb in your vehicle is responsible for illuminating your plate in dark or low-visibility conditions. It is located directly above or to the sides of your license plate, and is required by law to be illuminated in many states. To illuminate and function properly, these light bulbs are secured in a socket. While the license plate light bulb and socket are protected by a lens, they can still wear out over time or become damaged. If exposed to harmful contaminants or elements, these sockets can corrode or become rusty, and may not be able to make the necessary connection to turn on the light bulb. If you notice a crack in the license plate light bulb lens, or the bulb is flickering or not turning on at all, it might be time to replace the light bulb, socket, or lens. O'Reilly Auto Parts carries replacement license plate light bulbs, sockets, as well as a variety of other auxiliary lighting necessities for most vehicles.
