How to replace the license plate light on a 2010 Kia Forte Sedan 

Great video for a wife, caregiver of her hubby, who has to rely on videos such as these. And pay a lot to have this done.

I got a burned light for 5 months and now I know how to change it. I will replace both and I will switch to LEDs. Thank You For The Video. GOOD JOB. 👍🏻

Thank you! You made it look much easier and far less time consuming than it actually was😂😅 but I wouldve never been able to do it without this vid. No more red and blue lights behind me for a dumb little bulb😂

Thanks - good video - I actually own a Venga but you showed me how he bulb holder fits which was the vital clue I needed to get the job done - very helpful

Thanks for this. My wife has a Forte and I had to change her license plate lights!!

This helped my change out my own bulbs with LEDs, one side had burned out and the dealer wanted $18 to change one bulb. It is difficult to see what you're doing in the video once the liner is off. For anyone else attempting this, the tabs are on the side of the light tan bit connected to the gray part. I wasn't able to turn out the gray part by hand, but pliers helped immensely (should NOT have to use a lot of force though).

Hey thanks for making this video! Saved me a lot of time fumbling around with the housing.

Thanks for the video! I was looking all over for a tutorial like this and you have the only video on this specific model

Nice I didn’t know how to change mine

Thank you for the tip I got to change my bulbs 💡😀

Thanks for the video, i got stopped by a fucking cop cause one of those license plate lights was busted, now i know how to fix it

Thanks for the video, this helped me access the bulb location. Had a big problem putting the plastic screws back in when re-attaching the liner. These aren't really screws, they're more like plastic tabs. A good half hour of finagling trying to get these tabs back into their holes, including a frustration break, before I got the screws back in. I wonder what the shop would have charged for this?

thank you for getting back to me I ended up taking it into AutoZone and they came out with a pair of pliers because they unable to do either by hand. I ended up buying LEDs because they last longer as well as their brighter. a police officer pulled me over two nights ago harassing me that the lights were not bright enough. this is not the first time. I think Kia just did not make this particular model bright enough

great video helped me on my 13 forte thanx

thats for the vid!!! awesome job..

Thanks Mike from Columbia

How do you undo the clip?? I've gotten that far but I can't get the clip out 😭

what is the model of the license plate light?

The maunel in for your car even tells you. Thank you

Great video. For some odd reason I am unable to remove the wires from the back of the bulb holder. I fear that I might pull too hard and damage it. Is there something that I need to look for or do? Is there a release button? I have a 2011 Kia Forte Sedan EX which is the same as the 2010 model. The manual states to remove the truck lid backing and then just unscrew counterclockwise the lamp unit. I have tried your way and theirs with no luck.

Can't see what your doing.

God forbid you should move your camera in closer for the bulb work Slappy....!

Not particularly helpful. It would have been more helpful to give us a close-up on removing the wiring clip. Push-in and down is not helpful if you are not familiar with where to push and when to pull down.
