How to Replace the Toyota Sienna's License Plate Light

You should keep your license plate lights functional at all times when driving your Toyota Sienna. The license plate light is the only way that a police officer can identify your license plate from behind your car at night. Most states have laws requiring that your license plate light be on at all times at night. The Toyota Sienna uses a number 168 bulb over the license plate.
