Lexus IS 2014+ :: Rear License Plate Mount Rusting Already?
Apr 14, 2015
My Ultra white IS350 is 15 months old, and when I took out the screws to my license plate today, I noticed a little bit of rust on the mounts (where the screws would go into).
I believe this is a pretty common issue for all cars - essentially, the mount was sprayed with body paint, but the paint would be stripped when you put a screw in. It's just a matter of time before that happens.
I am just concerned it would rust through my trunk if I continue to leave it.
FYI: I already use stainless steel screws

Notice a rattle when they close their trunk?
My top screws are plenty tight, but the bottom portion seems to not be secure enough since they do not have screws.

Replacing license plate bulb on a 3rd gen rx? I tried taking off the interior lining on the rear hatch but no luck. There's access covers for taillight & reverse, but none for license plate light. I also tried "popping" out the plate light cover right above the license plate... don't think they are designed to be popped out.

After going through the car wash several times now in my 2010 RX 350, my front license plate has been bent in all different directions. Car wash guys say it's due to not having a full plate holder, where as 4 screws secure the plate vs. only the top 2 as we have. Any plate holder from another vehicle that I might adapt to overcome this?

How do I change my license plate bulbs in a 2010 ES350? I bought some 194 JDM Astar LEDs. I took off liner and changed backup bulbs but can't figure out how to change license plate bulbs.

I'm in the process of replacing license plate bulbs. I broke the old housing for one of the bulbs so I bought new LED lights on eBay and they came with the housing. The problem is, I can't get the cover to stay clipped in to the tailgate. How to get the lights to stay in? What am I doing wrong?

I know this might not seem important but everytime I slam my trunk the license plate is making contact with the rear so it makes that rattle noise everytime I close it. It's annoying because sometimes I just want to close my trunk without being noticed. Toyota should've made two more holes at the bottom of the plate so this wouldn't happen.

I wanted to change my license plate bulbs to LED's. Can't figure out how to get to them. The book says have the dealer replace these bulbs if burnt out. I Always like to try to do things myself.

Where the license plate lights get thir power from? I have a 2002 SC430 and the plug is just dangling. It goes behind the plate and then if I look under the car, it is just there by the bumper and I cannot find a connector that it can reach.

I try to install LEDS on it and I guess I accidently blew the fuse and when I try to search for it, I can't locate it.

I have a 2010 RX450h and live in Minnesota where it is hard to hand wash my car. The darn car washes tend to catch the front of my license plate frame and bend it and the license. I have tried several different plate frames and none worked. Minnesota plates are now the thin, non-stamped plates so they are very flimsy.
I even tried putting a plastic plate behind the license to make it more rigid but that failed too.

yesterday I got the idea to move the plate bracket on the front all the way down so it gives it a much cleaner look and doesn't obstruct the grille. To do so test mount the bracket on the lowest position, then have someone hold it. Then you take a 1/8 drill bit and make the two new wholes then put everything back together.

I need to mount a plate on front bumper and there are dimples for 2 holes. Do I just use self tapping screws here as I've read you don't need a mounting frame?

How do I change my license plate bulbs? I can't seem to get the plastic covers to pop off without worrying about breaking something. Even reading about people saying the puddle lights were hard to change, i did mines in 10 minutes in the dark with a small flashlight lol.
This was a lot easier old my old g37/350z ....
