2019 Hyundai Accent Headlight Bulb Replacement

Headlight Bulb Replacement is one of the most common repairs for 2019 Hyundai Accent. This repair involves replacing the damaged lighting component with a new or refurbished part. The process typically takes 15-30 min and requires easy skill level.

What You'll Need

• Replacement lighting part (OEM or aftermarket)
• Precision screwdriver set (Phillips #000 or pentalobe)
• Opening tools (plastic spudger, suction cup)
• Adhesive strips or glue
• Clean workspace with good lighting

Step-by-Step Process

Step 1:

Open the trunk of the vehicle.

Step 2:

View the side flap for whichever side has the dead bulb. (This is the left side view.)

Pull the flap up and locate the brake light.

The flap may need some extra force to open because the cutouts are typically not cut all the way through.

Step 3:

Twist the socket counterclockwise to gain access to the brake light.

Step 4:

Push down slightly and twist the bulb counterclockwise to remove the dead bulb.

Pay attention to the protrusions located on the bottom of the bulb. You will need to align these protrusions with the socket when inserting the new bulb.

Step 5:

Insert the new bulb into the socket and twist the bulb clockwise to secure it into place.
