Lift the hood and insert the support rod. Remove the inner cover from the hood on the headlight side by unscrewing the plastic clip. Remove the rubber cover and insert a 5 mm socket wrench, unscrewing the bolt inside.

As you move it, you will notice the headlight coming out of its housing: pull it out and disconnect the connector. Now that the housing is empty, you can better see how the clips that hold the headlight are constructed.

Insert the new headlight, aligning the clips, and connect the connector. Screw in the bolt and reassemble everything.

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.
