I found an LED Plate Light Replacement for my 2020 F3!

[CloverHillCrawler]

I just recently had my rear plate light go out and I wanted to replace the incandescent bulb with a LED and I was able to find a match.

It is the Sylvania LED 5007 mini bulb. I came here first to look to see if anybody had listed one yet, and even though I didn't find my answer I did find a warning about not using Loctite on the screw for the lens, which I am glad I found because I was going to do just that, as I had found when replacing the light the lens had come loose.

I also saw where someone had used silicon instead. I didn't want to mess with silicon and clean up from it, so instead I used teflon tape on the screw and wrapped the hell out of it to keep it in place.

What's the issue with Loctite? My original lens fell off, so I replaced the whole unit with an LED unit from Amazon.
The lens is identical, and I used a drop of Loctite 222 on the screw. No problems so far.

What's the issue with Loctite?

I believe Loctite will, over time, make the plastic brittle.
