The bulbs over the license plate on your Chevrolet Equinox illuminate the plate for easy identification on the road. Law enforcement officials rely on those lights to verify that your tags are valid. If a bulb burns out over the license plate on your truck, buy a W5WLL bulb from an auto parts store and change it at home in minutes. You'll be back on the road without worrying about a police citation.
