Incorrect bulb replacement! This is replaced by opening the trunk and pulling out the black cover in the trunk lid, then unscrewing the bulbs! Under no circumstances should you take out the light!
I went to store where they install the light bulbs when you buy them. He struggled for a bit and needed to get another tool. Came back out, struggled more and handed me my bulbs and said he doesn’t have the tool he needed. I went home, watched your video and replaced them within 5 minutes with a flat head screwdriver. You rock! Thank you SO much for this video!
New problem with this, this year. FRAM and SuperTech are now selling the wrong size for this for a Sonata, an inch too big. FRAM has reused their old part number for a new size, and Super Tech's version a tad too big so the fans don't unfold (air will bypass their filter when fan fold kinks in on the sides). Should've returned here, and followed Flora, Microguard 3701, from O'Reilly's Auto Parts. Would've saved myself a lot of trouble.
I cut some "hardware cloth" (metal grid from Big Box) over it before reinstalling, to make it less hospitable to mice. It's troublesome getting the filter in and out to change, but beats mouse air being blown into the car. I'm hoping to come up with something more sensible/easy.
If you choose to replace the light this way, you have to watch out for the clips on the side of the light housing. One of mine got bent up in the removal, would not fit back properly and I had to superglue it in place.
"runs just fine without it" That filter is the only thing that kept mice, who'd made a home in it, out of my car. And with the hole they chewed in it, blew mouse (fur, and whatever) into the air, which made me deathly ill, pneumonia, one winter. "without it", at your own risk.
You forgot a few steps along the way!
Thanks for informing me, I just did this I have a 07 Hyundai Sonata 🤝
Simple and EASY. I just did this on mine girl thank u ❤❤❤
Wish you would have shown the bulb package

If they aren't halogen you don't have to worry about not touching them
Thank you! Saved me a good amount of time and busted knuckles.
Task completed - thanks to your video. 👍

Your Very Welcome

YWC ❤❤❤

Your Welcome
Thank you! I was about to tear the whole trunk apart. A tip tho, tiny bit of grease on base of the bulb makes it easier to remove the next time
Kudos , great video ......
Thank you you're a lifesaver
Thanks for the nice video. Go PENS!!
Thanks for this explanation. It helped me a lot.
Thank you. This is the best easy way to replace the license plate light bulb. 😊👍
Why do other videos day to take the entire trunk cover off?
Paula Lowe maybe a different make or model
That's for just replacing the back/break lights.
Tip- keep glove box door closed when removing rubber grommet/clip through the side opening . It is easier to remove/replace.
Thank you dear
Thanks my air flow went up 100% need to order a new filter and install it. But runs just fine with out it
Your Very Welcome

@@buzoff4642 I did replace it. I also replaced the filter on the new Sonata that I have and has improved air flow as well.
@@kameljoe21 Glad to hear it! Best wishes for good health William.
There is an arrow on the filter which shows which way the air flows. Notice she did not check this.
Jim Morris Thank You for watching my video and also for your expertise 😊
Holy moly, just checked, you're right! Never noticed that, thanks for the mention.
Did you have to put the clip on in the back that you took off? Thanks for the video, I am going to change mine.
Mark Paris - thank you , I'm glad the video helped you and yes you must put clip back on 😊
