To completely remove the front lighting assembly, open the bonnet and remove the two screws that secure the headlamp at the bonnet side and the third one located at the bottom of the frame. Carefully slide the headlamp assembly out of its housing by pulling it towards you. Remove the protective cap and then the electrical connector.

Take off the lamp retaining spring by gently pulling it to remove it from the lamp holder. Install the new bulb without touching the glass with your hands.

Refit the lamp holder in its respective housing and reposition the headlamp assembly in its place, closing the plastic cap and securing it with the two clips.

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.
