How to fix license plate lights on a 1997 Ford Explorer?

[qhx398]

Hi Guys,

I have a 1997 Ford Explorer. I didn't know you could twist the pigtail in the back to replace the light. So, what I did was I took a straight bladed screwdriver to the black cover thing for the light and took it off. Now, I had no problem taking it off, but how exactly do you put it back on again? Is it held together by some sort of glue because I never seen any other way it would have attached to the bumper. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Check bulb then fuse If not check socket to make certain of no burned looking areas

most just pop out then pull bulb outy push cover back in place but if it had glue then use glue to stick it back on
