Lets Get Started!!!
Step: 1) To access the license plate bulbs first you have to remove the interior trunk cover. The first step is to remove the handle. Looking closer at the handle on the back you will see that there are two clips, one on each side.
We used a flathead screwdriver to push down on the clips .Â
Step: 2) Next you will locate the small plastic cover above the cargo net pocket. Under the cover you will notice a screw. Use a Philips screwdriver to remove the screw.
Step: 3) Remove the storage compartment lid next to the cargo net by twisting both knobs to the open position.Â
Step: 4) Remove the trim surrounding the rear window by pulling up on the edges of the trim. you can remove completely or remove until you are able to pull the bottom trim piece out.Â
Â
Note* when reinstalling trim align the clips with the holes on the tail gate circled in the last image for step 4
Step: 5) peel back the insulating plastic and locate the license plate light housing. Once located use 2 screwdrivers to push the clips in towards each other to allow the license plate housing to fall through the opening.Â
*Side note – you can simplify the removal of the license plate light by using a slim trim removal tool and prying out the license plate light until free. Use force at your own discretion.Â
Step: 6) Unplug the connector by pushing down on the clip release and pulling the connectors apart to free the license plate housing.
Step: 7) Remove the bulb retainer from the license plate light housing by twisting counter clockwise and remove the bulb by pulling the bulb up and out of the socket.Â
Step 8) insert the new LED bulb into the housing and reinstall bulb holder to the license plate housing and reconnect to the vehicle harness.Â
