Replacing Rear Light Bulb

Model: Hyundai Santa Fe MK 2 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Light bulb

The rear light is divided into two parts, one mounted on the boot lid and the other directly on the bodywork. To replace the bulb in the light mounted on the boot lid, you need to remove the light itself, but the operation is simplified by the presence of a cap on the inner trim of the door. Once the cap is removed, unscrew the fixing screws of the light (two more are located on the edge of the door), disconnect the connectors, and extract the light from its housing. Then, detach the bulb holder and replace the bulb (bayonet fitting).
