Replacing the front headlamp is a straightforward task, although there are some components to remove to allow for its extraction: you need to detach the plastic trim from the wheel arch and the front bumper to access the headlamp's mounting pins; once unscrewed, pull the headlamp away from its housing and disconnect the connectors (there is a metal clip that must be removed to disconnect the connector); then remove the bulbs complete with their holders (bayonet fitting) to fit them into the new headlamp.

Complete the installation by tightening the mounting pins and refitting the trims.

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.
