Replacing the side indicator bulb is very simple but requires removing the unit: push the unit forward and then pull it outwards; at this point, disconnect the bulb holder and remove the old bulb (12V 5W orange T10 fitting) before inserting the new one; before reattaching the bulb holder to the unit, check that the bulb is functioning correctly, and once confirmed, reposition the bulb holder ensuring it fits perfectly, then attach the side indicator back onto the wing.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

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. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
