There are two license plate lights. One bulbs is housed inside each of the two assemblies (red arrows).

When installing LED bulbs like these, rotate it to where the LED diodes are facing the clear plastic. This will give the highest light output.

Reinstall the license plate light assembly the same way it was removed. Press it down until it audibly clicks into place.

With both license plate bulbs replaced, reinstall the negative terminal back onto the battery.

Test the new license plate light by inserting the key into the ignition and turning the headlight knob to the on position. Ensure no error codes pop on the dashboard. If the license plate lights don't work, check the wiring and troubleshoot further.

Good job replacing your license plate light bulb(s)! Keep an eye out for any flickering or error codes that may point to deeper issues.
