Replacement of Front Headlamp Bulb with Removal of the Unit

Model: Hyundai Santa Fe MK 1 - Years 2000-2006
Part: Headlight

For this operation, a ratchet spanner is required. Open the bonnet and unscrew the retaining screws of the headlamp. Carefully remove the headlamp, taking care with the cables, and remove the retaining springs of the plastic cover to access the bulbs. Once the cover is removed, take out the bulb holder of the faulty bulb by releasing the retaining springs and remove it. Gently insert the new bulb, taking care not to touch the glass bulb with your hands; if you do, clean the glass with a cloth soaked in alcohol. Ensure the protective cover is securely closed and refit the headlamp.
