How to Easily Replace 2013 Hyundai Headlight Bulbs (Driver & Passenger) | DIY / How To 

I have small hands and was able to replace driver's side without removing the entire headlamp. Go team small hands! Thanks for the video!

I really appreciate you for posting this video. I just changed both of my headlights on my car. I thank God for people like you who don't mind sharing how to videos, to make it easier for women and men who aren't mechanically inclined. Enjoy the rest of your day.

You're the ONLY man who did the DRIVERS side which is nearly impossible to do. Thank you from Toronto / Chicago !!

Thank you so much for posting, replaced driver side - no issues - in 10minutes - you saved me $80 - ;)

Can’t believe that I could change them in 10 minutes. Thank you so much for the excellent details

I’m about to be 71 (grandmother)in two weeks.. don’t want to spend money on getting headlight changed or anything I could do myself if possible. I could ask my son or nephew, but if I can do it myself Id rather not bother them (they would be mad bc I didn’t ask, but I like to try things) Thank you for this video.. I was able to change the driver-side headlight in 15mins …no issue! Thank you so much!

This is the tutorial that keeps on giving. Took me maybe 20 minutes, 30 at most to change my headlights. Thank you so much for posting the whole tutorial and detailing which tools I needed before starting. ❤❤❤💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Watched this right before replacing my headlights. Went without a hitch. Thanks bunches!

Your vid helped me replace my passenger's side light over a year ago. Today, it helped me replace the driver's side. Much thanks!

Thank you so much! I went through 5 different videos and you are so thorough and actually show you replacing the bulbs. Other videos just take off the headlight cover thing off the car and no replacing. Thank you! 🙌🙏✨

Thanks - was almost ready to start tearing the bumper off to get those underside latches aligned (spent about 20 minutes and failed). I watched your video and went back out and somehow magically, it aligned the first time. I wasn't actually sure it was in correct at first it went so well. You saved me a lot of grief.

Thank you so much for this video! I just changed both of my headlights by myself in about 15 minutes. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video.

Thanks High Tech Dad! You explained it so well, watching the video took longer than the actual repair! Much obliged!

Just thanking you... bc i watched this video quickly earlier today, then switched my bulbs out at an autozone in under 10 mins. Some guy near me thought i was a pro mechanic, the way i got the headlight done so fast.

I was ready to buy a whole new housing (on amazon $217) until I tried youtube and found you. I just finished replacing the driver's side. I thought I had small hands, but not small enough. I did have to remove the housing. All went as you demonstrated without a hitch. Thank you, HiTechDad.

This video helped me upgrade to LEDs. Which I realized were only the H11 bulbs and not the seriously ridiculously rare (for aftermarket) H11b bulbs. Thank you a ton!

Thanks, incredibly unskilled when it comes to anything repair related but I took care of both of my front headlights today thanks to this tutorial. Here's to hoping they continue to work after I hit a pothole :)

I always come back to this video for my drivers side. I know the technique but it feels reassuring to have someone talking along it, haha

I had no idea what I was doing other than your video. Replaced both lights in under 30 minutes. Thanks!

Thank you. Worked great. Never would have gotten the driver's side off without watching this.

Saved me a ton of time (and probably breaking stuff) or a trip to the garage: my inclination was to move the fusebox, LOL. Took 20 min. and that included locating the ratchet I had misplaced. Thank you!

Thank you so much u saved me 130$ and 2 hours at the mechanic!

Very good. Much better than the last time, with instructions that weren't as clear as this. Made the job easy.

Followed the same steps and got the lights changed in like 15 mins! Thank you!

Dealership chg for all 4 side warning lights on my 2013 elantra was high. Thought id do it my self but watching your review I realized a 80 yr old granny can't do it. Back to the dealership. Thanks

thank you king!! 👑 i’m a woman in STEM now changing my own headlights 😊✌🏻😳

So nice knowing even the size driver I needed before even popping the hood.

It's a rare sighting to see a Tech Guy doing real car mechanic work in the wild. (I can say that, I'm a high tech dad too). 🙂. You did good Tech Man! Update: On a Santa Fe, you don't have to remove the headlight, so it is really easy.

This video helped me out perfectly. Got it done. Saved a pointless trip to the auto shop and money.

Man oh man that is one of the best do it yourself video. When I seen the little space I had to work with i thought to myself you tube has got to have a better opinion. Thank you so much you just made my life alot easier ! Great job !

I have small hands & was not able to do it without removing the headlight. Thank You, for the support!

Just watch your Video. I love how you took time ⏲️ to slowly explain with clear pictures or Video

Wow..thanks a lot. I actually already had all the tools u mentioned including the exact same light bulb apart from the gloves..lol. You just saved me time and about 150 bucks. God bless.

Thanks! I was able to change the bulb without removing the entire assembly! Thanks for the video!!

this help a lot thank you Dad

Thanks heaps. As a 59yr old Mr Non-mechanical, I thought, “Let’s see if RU-vid can help me.” Lo & behold 😃 You really can find how to do anything 😂

Thanks so much! Recently widowed and now have to do these things on my own. Hubby taught me to go to RU-vid though. 🥰

this video helped alot i did not even have to take it out all the way my hands are small enough but i hate new cars

Was able to fix my moms blown headlight with this video thank you x100

Thank you, passenger-side! Easy.

this WAS THE video that helped me place the headlight back FLUSHISH

Thank you so much! You made this so easy. Also made me look good to my wife!

Great video! Very thorough and gave me the confidence to try doing the task myself. I actually struggled more with the passenger side lamp than the driver's side. Thanks very much for posting this video.

This is such a great video! Thank you for the thorough, close up, easy to see and follow step-by-step process.

It was very helpful thank you for this video. Makes things much better for me since I'm single got to do things on my own

Big help. Thank you. Don't know if you mentioned it, but REMEMBER to replace the plastic caps to the housing before reattaching the housing. I might have missed it, because I was in "I got this" mode by then. Thank you again.

Thank you, this helped out so much changing the bulb for the first time in my car

I'm sorry dad I was completely distracted by this music I didn't hear anything you said. When that dude went into the faceshredding solo right around talking about the actual bulbs I dephased for a bit. Love the video thank you I have tiny fingers lol.

Thank you so much, I just changed the bulb on the driver side of my son's Elantra, you made it easy 👍

Thank you so much! I ended up not being able to fenagle the driver's side headlight out (though I was able to get the bolts off) but my girly hands were able to sneak into that small spot. I appreciate your research and easy to follow directions. :)

I don't know if you ever decided to switch to the Led lights but if you haven't I just did using your video to help me install. It was so easy and you can put the dust covers back on! I git them from Amazon, Sealight H11 Led bulbs conversion kit. $40.

Just want to thanks for the video it was very helpful....I thought I was ganna have to take bumper off lol...thanks again

After struggling for about 20-30 minutes with a driver-side headlight replacement on a 2013 Elantra GT BEFORE I watched this video, and hacking up my hands in the process, then bending the replacement bulb, I re-attempted with another $23 bulb after watching this. I removed the screws to pull the headlight, but the Hyundai geniuses who designed the GT differently necessitate the removal of the bumper assembly to do so. I was finally able to do it without removing the headlight with considerable patience and effort.

Thank you for this video! Super straightforward and helpful, have come back to it on multiple occasions to change out my headlights

Thank you for this vid. You made it very easy. Getting that driver side headlight out gave me hell.

Very informative, the best instruction on how to do things the right way. Thank you so much!

Thanks for this video. I’ll be changing my headlights tomorrow 👍🏾

Thanks. My niece has this car. She is away at college so one of her guy friends should be able to benefit from this (or her!)

Great video, thanks a lot! One note about the gloves: As you mentioned, the point of the gloves is so you don't get oil from your hands on the bulb, so what you should really do is leave the gloves off until you get ready to put the bulb in the socket and replace the bulb & socket in the light. You don't want to avoid getting oil from your skin on the bulb only to get oil/grease/grime from the car on the bulb instead! Of course, if you're careful you can avoid touching the glass either way but new clean gloves just for the bulb handling is safest. Thanks again!

I'm glad that I saw your video, it saved me alot of time....thanks👍

All I have to say is, THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Thank you so much.... we were getting very frustrated trying to change the driver's side headlight bulb.

Excellent video! Straight and to the point. Nice video work. Clear and easy to follow. Audio nice and clear. Nice work!

Thanks man : ) did not know I shouldn't touch the bulb

Thank you! Couldn’t have done it without your help.

Thanks so much just changed mine u explained it so well i didnt have to relook at the video thanks man

Thanks so much! You helped me replace my moms headlight 💕

Thank you so much for this video. It showed exactly what I was looking for and I appreciate it :).

I fixed my daughters car myself. Thank you!

Worked like me a charm. Kudos to you, sir…

Hi, thanks for sharing this video. For driver side, isn't necessary to dismantle the entire headlamp. I used a groove joint plier.

This is very helpful,liked your video and attitude of sharing knowledge.

This video helped me out a lot thank you for this, you and others have made simple auto repairs do easy thanks!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Going to attempt it tonight. Cheers. I got the same bulbs.

Thanks for this video. Super helpful.

Great step by step process I feel sorry for you in that the cramp space you deal with on the cell phones much patience.

thank you doing mine today on the drivers side

Very easy to follow guide, thank you!

Hey thanks so much , saving a bunch of money doing stuff myself! 🎉

Awesome video - it was a big help to us. Tech guys and cars are the new trend 👍

Thanks so much for this informative video! I changed the bulb myself this afternoon!

ALERT: I planned to replace the bulbs per the video. Took my car to my mechanic for brake work. Dennis saw the bulbs on the seat. When done he said "No Charge" for the bulbs. He showed me how he reached back, removed the round covers, and replaced both. Not sure if his hands are smaller than normal. He said no need to remove the headlight. Took him 5 mins.

Thanks very much. Just replaced both bulbs on my 2012, super easy after watching your video.

I came to this video not to replace headlights but to replace front driver side turn signal bulb. The twist socket for that bulb is next to impossible to turn without removing the headlight assembly, and the video I watched that showed which socket in the headlight assembly said you could *try* to change the bulb without removing the headlight assembly but they recommended removal of the whole assembly. They didn't however mention anything about the two bottom catches.. Your video was very clear about them and after watching the video several times, then removing the three bolts, I spent over a half hour yanking/pulling/prying and was never able to get the assembly out.. I second the "Hyundai stupid design".....

Great video. Did exactly what you did and got that sucker off and back on. 🤛🏽

Very clear instructions, Thank you.

thanks! Was thinking I had to remove fuse box and battery case to get to - i assumed a screw or bolt under the lamp housing would prevent removal - just saved me $.

thank you high tech !

I did it without removing. 5'7" /170 lbs/ 7" wrists, average hands. Space is tight, however if you have strong hands, fingers and able to work from different angles and feel and 'see' with your fingers you can do it bypassing removal. I changed both headlight bulbs under 10 minutes. Funny thing, the passenger side took longer, yet that is the easier side.

Thanks! I'm a DIY Woman and refuse to get ripped off ! While I'm in there changing all the bulbs!

Faith in humanity restored

The main reason those covers are on there isn't dust, but moisture. As in standard incadecent bulbs aren't water proof. Those puppies will rust solid on you. However, LEDs are made from waterproof aircraft grade aluminum. They're made waterproof by design. I say this because I had replaced my 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis headlights with LEDs. That dust cover wasn't needed. One more thing. By putting them back on, with how much heat is generated by the cooling fan on LEDs, the dust cover becomes a liability and wind up melting. Those LED bulbs need lots of cool air to help them survive.

Thanks very much extremely helpful to an unhandy guy made the driver side a breeze

Thanks.for the vid. Did my today.Upgraded to SilverStar Ultras. Pretty easy actually.🇨🇦

You save over $100 having this done at the dealership 🥰

Thanks Dad, this was really helpful

So, I had to just replace the "signal blub" but in the interim I wanted to replace the headlights with brighter blubs. I try and teach myself to do all the minor work on my car instead of taking it to the dealership or repair shop. But just a word to the wise, when giving a demo, have the person recording be on the other side of you so we can see what you are doing. There were times your hands were in the way and I am, and maybe others are very detailed would like to see what you were doing, but other than that, you did a good job. Thanks!

Excellent video and made the job easy for me, you're awesome

Thanks for the video. Worked great. Saved me time and money.

thank you so much did it about an hour ago
