How to Remove the License Plate Light on the Elysion?
2 Answers
Method for removing the license plate light on the Elysion: Prepare a flathead screwdriver, then insert it from one side of the license plate light and gently pry to remove it. If the license plate light is secured with screws, it cannot be removed by prying directly. In this case, first unscrew the screws, then use the screwdriver to slowly pry out the license plate light by keeping it close to the light. Otherwise, applying excessive force may break the clips. The Elysion is an MPV under Dongfeng Honda, with dimensions of 4950mm in length, 1842mm in width, 1711mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2900mm. The exterior of the Elysion inherits the family-style design, featuring bold chrome trim on the grille for decoration. The large headlights on both sides are very distinctive, with uniquely arranged internal light clusters that give an extremely aggressive look.
Last time I removed the license plate light on my Elysion, I found that I needed to first pry open the plastic trim panel on the inner side of the tailgate. Use a plastic pry tool to gently pry along the edges—avoid metal tools as they can easily scratch the paint. Once you locate the license plate light assembly, press the clips on both sides and push outward to remove the entire light cover. When removing the bulb, grip the metal base and twist counterclockwise half a turn. Be careful not to touch the glass part of the bulb directly with your fingers, as oils can shorten its lifespan. Before reinstalling, it’s best to wipe the contact points on the light socket with a dry cloth to prevent poor contact. Handle everything gently throughout the process—Honda’s clips are particularly fragile, and if broken, you’ll need to replace the entire light socket.
