Hello

I purchased the bulb for the headlight but am having
trouble removing the
old bulb . Any instructions on how to remove old bulb and install
new bulb
would be most appreciated . The car's headlights are the regular
headlights for
this year and model .

Thank You Mason

 

I do these replacements by sight when I see them and don't remember which
cars have which setups, so I'll give you some generic instructions. If
you don't have the particular piece to do one of the steps, move on to the
next step. I guarantee that'll happen at least once, because none of the
cars have the plastic dust cover (step 1) as well as a rubber dust cover
(step 3).

1. If you have a plastic dust cover on the back of the lamp, remove it.

2. Disconnect the electrical connector from the bulb.

3. If you have a rubber dust cover over the back of the lamp, remove it.


4. Push the spring clip in and move it away from the detent, releasing
the bulb. There may be one or two ends on the clip that are held in
place, and the direction necessary to move varies with car. You'll need
to decipher how the clip attaches.

Thank you for your quick response . My car has a rubber dust cover I
was afraid
to pull the rubber cover off for fear of not getting it back on. I was
able to peel the
cover back but it seems like it is attached fairly securely . My
question is do
I just need to pull harder and is it easy to reattach the cover to the
back of the
headlight opening ?

Thanks Again Hyundaitech

If you've got the electrical connector off, the rubber dust cover should
come off and go back on relatively easily.

Hello Hyundaitech

Thanks again . I was only able to remove a small piece of
plastic from
the back of the electrical connector . All this did was expose some
wires but
did not remove the elelectrical connector. I was able to snap the
piece of plastic in
place . Hopefully my last question to you is as I do not want to be a
pest , how
do I remove the electrical connector .

Thanks for all your help Mason

The electrical connector should pull off the headlamp. There may be a
little tab on one side you need to depress to release the lock.
