How to Change the Headlamp on a 2021 Hyundai Kona

Changing the lightbulb on a Hyundai can be a little different from other brands of cars, so here's a quick guide to help you get through it and save you some money!

Just a replacement bulb. We'll go over how to find what kind you need in the instructions.

Rubber gloves, but those are optional.

Unlike most cars, the headlamp is actually under the fog light. Make sure you know which of your headlamps is off before you begin.

Pop open your hood, and find the access point for changing the lights. If we're changing the righthand light then look over to that side and find the gap; like the one shown in the picture above.

Stick your hand down that area and you'll find a cap with the top facing away from you. Since your standing on the opposite side of the top of the cap, you'll actually want to turn the cap's top towards your right hand side. It should look like this once it comes off.

Reach into the compartment that was uncovered by the cap and untwist the light. It'll twist the opposite direction of the cap, to your left hand side.

The light will be plugged into a socket. Just pull it out! No twisting necessary.

On the rim around the lightbulb you will find a number. This can be used to find an identical light for you to use. Alternatively, you can just bring your old light to a store, like Walmart, and they'll find it for you.

Getting grease from your hands on the bulb can cause it to burn out faster. When handling your new light you can avoid this by using a pair of plastic glove while holding it. If you don't have those, just wash your hands and do your best the avoid skin contact with the glass portions of the bulb.

Just push it into the socket. There is a notch on one side that will fit into the correct space on the socket, so it'll only stick in if rotated the correct way.

Twist the headlamp into the socket you got it from. Then, put the cap back over the compartment.

Make sure you test your headlamps when your done. Drive safe, and make sure your headlamps are working before you need them.
