Rear license plate bulb help.

There are 2 plastic covers on the hatch door, one for each bulb. Twist the bulb assembly (i forget which way) to take it out of the housing. Pull on the bulb.

 

It's in your owner's manual. This is from the 2010:

 

The covers have a small recess near a top corner to start the process. Note the top needs to be popped loose first, the lower edge clips have a 90 degree bend and can not be pried straight out.
Some cheap LEDs I had around from motorcycle gauge use went right in, turn on headlights and confirm bulbs are inserted the "right way around" so they light before closing up the covers. ;^)

 

These work perfectly. Replaced map lights and more.

 

Can also vouch for SIRIUSLEDs. Have replaced all T10's with them besides the ones that turn on with the sun visor's mirror. Running strong for about 2-3 years.
However they were too bright for parking lights and used these SIRIUSLEDs instead.

Yeah that’s a gotcha for me; I do it so infrequently I forget. That recess is a clue eh.
