I havent spoken with him yet, but seeing how the thread ( https://mustangforums.com/forum/s...d.php?t=481605 ) ended almost two months ago with no sign of a fix makes me alittle nervous. I thought changing the rear plate light was going to be as easy as removing one bulb and replacing it with another, but it seems that is not the case.

Thats why I am waiting as well...... I will buy them next week and get back to you guys..... I am sure it was easy and cheap mod (adding the resistor) and anyone with a high school degree can do it...if you contact him first shoot me a PM and give the details....thanks

We were able to identify the issue and it basically calls for most 05-07 cars to run a resistor with the reverse lights only. The dome lights and license plate lights won't need the resistors.

We have the lights and the required resistors at the link below. Please feel free to give us a call if you have any other questions. Thanks, Jared

so I tried replacing my license plate light today with an LED one that I bought but I was unable to do it. I replaced the 2 screws that hold that plastic piece in place but once I did that i could not remove the cover. any tips?
