Default License Plate Lights 1992 LS

Hey all, I want to replace my license plate 168 oem bulbs with some white light or xenon bulbs...has anyone done this? Should I go with a specific bulb so I don't burn out the wiring?

..also, I tried to remove the plastic covering today to examine the bulb, but when I took the 2 screws out I still couldnt get the plastic covering off. Is there a trick to this, or something I'm missing??

Thanks

most likely there is rubber around the cover and since your car is a 92 you just got to pull a lil harder.
