Instructions for Replacing the Number Plate Light

Model: Hyundai Sonata - Years 2004-2014
Part: License plate light

The number plate lights are integrated into the lower strip of the rear bonnet, just below the manufacturer's badge: unscrew the fixing screws of the light units to remove them from their respective housings; then unclip the bulb holder by turning it anti-clockwise and extract the old bulb (T10 fitting); fit the new bulb and, if it is LED type, ensure it lights up; if not, rotate it 180 degrees as LEDs have a polarity that must be respected; once both bulbs are replaced, reposition the bulb holders and reattach the light units under the edge of the bonnet.

How to Open the Bonnet on the Lancia Y

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening. To do this, slightly lift the bonnet, locate the yellow lever underneath, and pull it to the left to fully release and open the bonnet.
