hahaha...

I work up here.... and since I have a house in NY I got tired of the cops saying they were going to give me a ticket if I didn't change over my plates. But I also have a house in PA but the cops leave it alone in PA.... But NY sucks and I got tired of getting pulled over for having Oklahoma plates.

Once the work is done up here I will move back to OK and switch my plates back.

No. You can get to the license plate lights from under the bumper, they just twist out and then they're sitting in the socket, kind of like the back of one of the tail lights.

Same way, choose the side that it clicks on, and pop it out using a thin piece of rigid metal.

Did you turn the truck on and then test the lights?

I have heard people of having this happen but it has never happened to me

I had a problem with my light "strobing" and ended up having to use resistors in parallel with the lights, but from what I can see on the 4th gens, the light just plugs in so that shouldn't be needed.
