This
automotive maintenance "how-to" guide was specifically written to
assist owners of the 5th generation 2011, 2012 & 2013 Hyundai Elantra in replacing
the license plate light bulbs. Owners of other Hyundai or Kia vehicles such as the Accent, Sonata, Azera, Veloster, Tucson, Santa Fe, Veracruz, Genesis, Forte, Optima, Rio, Soul, Sorento, Sportage, i10, i20, i30, i35, i40, Tiburon, Avante and Sedona may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. A replacement license plate light bulb is part # 2825.You can also use a 158, W5W, 194, 168 or a compatible LED bulb. They are available from various manufacturers such as Sylvania, GE, Eiko, ACDelco,Wagner and PIAA. No tools are needed to replace the license plate bulbs, although a small flathead screwdriver can be helpful for prying out the housing. |

Press Tab - Release Power Plug |
Separate Lens & Socket |
Pull out the
license plate light bulb housing either with your fingers or use a small
flathead screwdriver to pry the housing out of the trunk lid. It should come
out relatively easily, so do not use excessive force or you may break the
plastic clip. Gently separate the clear lens part of the housing from the light grey socket part. |

Push In New W5W Bulb |
Pull the old light bulb straight out of the socket and push in a new W5W, 194, 168 or 2825 or a compatible LED light bulb straight into the socket. | |
