Remove License Plate Light Fixture

What happens here

Begin by placing a microfiber towel or soft cloth on the painted surface below the license plate light to protect it from scratches. Locate the rectangular license plate light fixture on the vehicle's tailgate, typically below the emblem. Using two fingers, feel for a small tab on one side of the fixture. Gently push this tab while simultaneously pulling that side of the fixture slightly outwards. Once one side is partially disengaged, apply gentle pressure to dislodge the other side, allowing the entire fixture to pull down and out of its mounting location.

Goal: Locate the license plate light fixture, which is positioned beneath the Honda emblem on the rear tailgate. Depress the small retaining tab on one side of the fixture and carefully pull the entire assembly out from its housing in the vehicle's body.
