Turn each bulb socket counterclockwise to remove it from the lamp. Pull the old bulb straight from its holder, fit the correct replacement, and twist the socket clockwise to lock it in place.
- Reinstall trim and test lamps
Align the trim clips with their slots and press the panel onto the liftgate. Refit its pockets and push clips, reconnect and seat the courtesy lamps, then verify both license plate lights illuminate.
