License plate/tag lights 2010 Accent GS
 
I have a 2010 Accent GS (Hatchback) and for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to change the bulbs for the licence plate. It looked like 2 screws, remove the trim, and esy access to the lens cover beneath. There is something else holding the trim. There are diagrams in the owner's manual showing every bulb on the car, except that one. Does anyone know how to change this?

It has been 5 months, but if you still haven't figured it out...There are 2 obvious screws on the outside above the license plate, unscrew them. Open your hatch. There are 4 screws that hold the rear plastic trim to the hatch. Unscrew them. Now there are a bunch of clips that hold the plastic secure to the hatch. Carefully pry along the edges until it pops up working your way around. You don't need to take the plastic all the way off. In fact, I think it would be a pain to. I believe it is connected to the other side plastic pieces by the glass, but his should give you enough access to two 10mm nuts (black in color) the hold that trim piece on. Once you unbolt them it easily unsnaps from the hatch from the outside. Be sure that the plastic snaps come out cleanly. Sometimes one side will start coming up on you and you will bend it. Hard to explain, but you will figure it out if you get this far. Good luck.
