Replacing the bulb located in the external rearview mirror requires removing the mirror itself. This operation requires a screwdriver to unscrew the screws located behind the mirror.

Fold the mirror to pull it outward with your hands to detach it from the plastic retaining supports. Remove the wire connected by acting on the connector and take off the mirror.

By detaching the light fixture at the bottom, replace the broken bulb and reassemble the mirror by reversing the steps. Ensure the proper positioning of the three supports in their respective housings.

Check that the adjustment mechanism still functions properly.

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.
