Open the hood and ensure it is securely supported. To remove the side turn signal, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire headlight; you can remove just the signal itself.

Locate the access hole for the mounting screw of the side turn signal, which is on the inner edge of the fender and has an elliptical shape. Unscrew the mounting screw of the signal and pull it forward to extract it from its seat; disconnect the bulb holder from the socket and connect it to the new signal.

Insert the new signal into its respective seat and tighten the mounting screw.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
