Replacing the Rear Light Bulb

Model: Hyundai Sonata - Years 2004-2014
Part: Tail light bulb

To replace the bulbs in the rear light (either the indicator or the side light), you do not need to remove the light unit as you can access it from inside the boot. By removing a portion of the trim corresponding to the light unit, you create a sort of window that allows access to the bulb holder. Once you reach the back of the light unit, release the bulb holder by turning it anti-clockwise by about 90 degrees and pull out the bulb (T10 fitting) to insert the new one (you might also opt for an LED type) and reattach the bulb holder in its place.
