located under the front part of each rear seat. Remove the four bolts
with a 3/8 inch ratchet and a 12mm socket. Turn the bolts
counter-clockwise to loosen and remove the bolts. Slide the rear seats
out of the seat compartment. Then slide the rear seats out of the car. If you want do some more intricate work like replacing the filter then follow this link. http://www.ehow.com/how_6208514_replace-filter-2005-hyundai-elantra.html#ixzz14tU8lBdv
Check for a drivers side interior cabin trunk release lever or button if not remove back seat to get access to the trunk.. possibly the rear seat might even fold down.
There is an 'access panel' in the trunk liner right behind the tail lamp assy. Loosen wingnut to release cover. Now you have access to the bulb sockets. Be sure you replace the bulb with the same type (dual filament).. otherwise you could cause a short circuit between the 'parking lamp' and the 'brake lamp' circuits.
