To replace the headlight bulb, first, open the hood and locate the headlight assembly. Disconnect the power connector from the back of the bulb. Twist the bulb holder counterclockwise to remove it. Replace the old bulb with a new one, ensuring it matches the specifications. Reattach the bulb holder and power connector. Test the headlight to confirm proper installation. Always handle bulbs with gloves to avoid oil contamination.

What should I do if my Hyundai Tucson's engine light comes on?

If the engine light illuminates, first check the fuel cap to ensure it’s tight. If the light remains on, use an OBD-II scanner to read the error code.

Ignoring the light can lead to more severe engine damage.
