MDX License Plate Lights

I have a 2012 MDX (without the tech package) and am wondering how to replace the rear license plate lights. Does anyone have any advice? -Thanks

You will need a Philips Screwdriver and a Flat Screwdriver with a Cloth.

1.- Open the Tailgate and hold it about halfway so you can clearly see the License Plate lights
2.- Remove all of the Philips Screws from the Plastic Trim around the License Plate Lights.
3..- Use the Flat Screwdriver with a cloth to pop off the black plastic trim surrounding the License Lights (Be extra careful with the pointy ends or you will break them).
4.- The license light pods will have a latching tab on 1 side only, Press it and pull out, The other side is just a holding tab so you will need to angle the pod to remove it.
5.- Open the pod by pushing both pressure tabs to remove the clear plastic lens.
6.- Install new Bulb preferably a LED replacement so you wont have to do this again.
7.- Reverse procedure to install.

That is about it from the top off my head.
