Default Rear license plate light missing and corroded

Failed inspection, and the dealer cannot get the light housing unit out. Now want to replace the entire assembly for $400. Anyway for me to get this out? Screw holding it in no longer has a head on it. Ugh.

OUCH!
you could probably go an tap the screw head out to get the housing out, needle nose pliers to remove the rest of the screw..

Ace has a huge selection of screw an bolts to replace them, i got mine replaced there allen key screws is what i used to replace the phillips head factory ones, easier to remove with the allen key wrench.

May i recommend some ZIZZA LED plate bulbs from ecs tuning?
They look fantastic..with no error codes.
