Is there anything special about removing the 996tt rear bumper, or is it pretty much the same as any other 996 bumper? Not much showed up doing a search on this forum, but there is some pretty good info on the 996 forum.

While checking all my lights today before taking the car to VA state inspection, I found that both license plate lights weren't working. Both bulbs looked pretty shot, but after I replaced them with new ones they still didn't work. Searching on this topic on the 966 forum leads me to think that there's a good probability the plate light harness wasn't plugged in when the previous owner had the bumper off, but I'll need to remove the bumper to confirm.

I decided not to take the car in for inspection until after I address this. While the state inspectors often overlook license plate lights, I don't want to end up with the one who fails me because of this. Plus I want to fix it so I can drive the car at night without giving the Men/Women in Blue an excuse for pulling me over.

maybe do the plugs while you have it off and clean the inner coolers.

As expected, it turned out the license plate light wiring harness was not plugged in. I didn't have to take the bumper all the way off, but I was able to loosen things up enough to slip a hand in there and plug it in. Problem solved; thanks for the tips!!
