The process can be broken down into a few simple steps - each of which I will expand on.
Personally I recommend checking the manual as it has a simple table for determining the correct replacement bulb type. For the number plate bulb you need a W5W replacement - also known as 501. These are the same as the sidelight bulbs (Philips BlueVision are my personal choice).
Step 2 - Remove assembly
Look above the number plate and you will see the assembly with a clip at one end. You need to use your finger (or a small flat headed screwdriver - careful with the paint!) to push the clip inwards. The other end of the holder slots into place so swing it down from the clip end and out. The wire with the bulb attached can be pulled out about 10cm so there is plenty of room.
Step 3 - Replace bulb
To remove the bulb turn the holder 90 degrees to remove it from the rest of the assembly. Now simply pull the bulb out and push in the replacement. Check the packaging as some bulbs are best held in a cloth rather than having your fingers touch them.
Step 4 - Put it all back together
This is just the reverse of what you have already done. Make sure you don't trap the wire when refitting the assembly to the bumper.
