license plate light bulb replacement

[Jerry Klay]

Guys... Went to inspection today and my license plate light bulb is out... Anyone replaced this bulb and how to do it.. It looks like there are 4 bolts that hold that assembly to the fender. Is there an easy way to do this or is dropping that piece the way to go. I can't tell if that top black plastic cover snaps off to get access to the bulb..

Also, is there a good LED bulb that would be a better replacement??

Thanks..

Got it apart.. Not to bad actually.. The lamp is marked 37R.. The R I believe is something about a reflector.. Went to NAPA and their type 37 bulb is about 1/2 the size of the one over the plate. I physically / mechanically matched up to a NAPA BP168LL-N [type 168 bulb] the filament has little wires supporting it.. This lamp slipped in no problem and the lamp assembly went back together without issue.
