Replacing the Interior Light Bulbs of the Hyundai Santa Fe

Model: Hyundai Santa Fe MK 2 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Interior dome light bulb

Here’s how to access the interior light bulbs of the Hyundai Santa Fe for replacement in case of failure. Gather a flat, thin screwdriver and start with the light fitting located between the sun visors. Insert the screwdriver tip into the edge of the transparent plastic and gently lever it off. Next, remove the light under the passenger side sun visor using the same procedure, taking care not to damage the fabric of the headlining. The central light will also be removed using the screwdriver as a lever. Be cautious when removing the transparent plastic part of the light next to the handle, as there is a plastic frame inside that tends to come loose. Using the screwdriver again, remove the transparent plastic covering the bulb inside the glove compartment. The procedure applied to all the interior lights of the Santa Fe will also be applied to the last one, located at the rear of the headlining. Unscrew the two side screws to access the bulbs of the rear number plate light.
