Choose a new replacement bulb identical to the one being replaced. In this case, a LED bulb is installed in the interior light instead of the old tubular bulbs; however, both types are perfectly interchangeable without issues.

Remove the cover of the interior light to access the bulb holder, remove the faulty bulb, and refit the new bulb. For LED bulbs, it is important to install them with the correct polarity.

If the new bulb does not light up, rotate it 180 degrees and reinstall it. Close the interior light with its cover. The same operation can also be performed on other interior lights.

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.
