Can't get to back breaklight or liscence plate bulb do i need to take my car into the dealership to get these bulbs replaced?

I just got a fix it ticket in california because one of my break lights was out. When I took my Hyundia Accent to pep boys they couldn't easily replace the light.


Do I need to take my Hyundia Accent 07 into the dealership to have them replace the back breaklight? I also need one of the liscence plate bulbs replaced as well.

Have any of you guys ever fought a fix it ticket? I plan on fighting this in court.

No, you can replace both bulbs yourself if you have a wrench and a small screw driver. From http://www.hmaservice.com/. Looks like simple procedures for both bulbs.

1.Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.[/align]

2.Loose the nuts holding the rear combination lamp then disconnect the 6P connector then remove the rear combination lamp.[/align]

License Light Fixture:

2.Detach the license lamp lens (A) from the trunk lid panel with a flat-tip screwdriver.[/align]

No, in my state they write warning tickets for items like this.
