To replace the bulbs in the instrument cluster, you need to remove the cluster from the dashboard: start by removing the trim surrounding the instrument cluster by unscrewing the two fixing screws along the rear edge; once the trim is removed, you can access the fixing screws of the instrument cluster, unscrew them, and pull the cluster forward enough to disconnect the connectors; then place the instrument cluster on a work surface and proceed by disconnecting the bulb holders and replacing the bulbs: to reach some of these, you may also need to remove the rear cover to access the electronic circuit.

After replacing the bulbs, reassemble the cluster and reverse the steps for installation in the vehicle.

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.
