The above statement is GREAT!!! The wheel-well piece folds down across the area you need to be in. There are 2 screws to undo this part. Push it back and there is a cap that unscrews which holds the wires and socket he is talking about. Unscrew the cap, unscrew the wire and housing. The bulb comes out. You pull the wire harness off and install the new bulb. It has a triangular push-in and it has to go just right so take note of how it comes out. Also, being a halogen light bulb, do not touch the bulb with your hands - the oils will make it explode.

Light bulbs are usually accessed from the rear of the bulb housing. Locate the plug/socket with two wires going into it, rotate 90 degrees and pull socket and bulb out of the back of the fixture.

Pull old bulb out, push new bulb in, and reverse the above procedure to reinstall. DO NOT TOUCH THE NEW BULB WITH YOUR FINGERS. USE THE PROTECTIVE BULB COVERING TO HOLD THE BULB.

Hyundai santa fe 2001 has no fog lights

I doubt if it is a serviceable part . I would just go to a wrecker that specialises in Hyundai and look for a car that was rear ended and get the part you want

"Replacing fog light bulbs on 2013 Santa Fe". Raise vehicle if you are a big person. In front of front wheels triangular plastic panels exists. Remove Phillips head plastic screws in chosen panel (2ea). Pull panel down. Stick hand through opening, remove wiring connector from bulb. (Bulb will not come out unless you do). Twist bulb housing counterclockwise and remove. Install new bulb, reverse procedure and don't touch the glass part of the bulb.

I need the number of the light bulb that is in the fog lamp switch on the dash.

Bad news. There are no part numbers for those little internal bulbs inside the fog light switch or even the rear defroster switch. Mine have blown out on my 04 Santa Fe. I've been through several dealers here in Denver and all tell me that Hyundai does not offer those bulbs individually. You must buy the whole switch. I know that sucks. I'm now checking with salvage yards to pull switches out of salvaged Santa Fe's. Hope this helps!

What is the best way to replace a fog lamp bulb on a 2008 Santa Fe?

1. Turn tires away from car
2. There is a plastic covering in front of the wheel that usually goes around the wheel well. There are plastic thumb pins on the outer edges of this plastic covering. Remove the thumb pins and this plastic piece will come off.
3. Behind this you will find access to your fog lights.
4. Then you can remove the fog light by twisting the plastic cover (if it has one) or by twisting the bulb

How do I replace fog lights on my 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe?

Look up into the bumper and see if you can access the fog light. The bulb should just twist out of the back. If not, the assembly should either pop forward or back to come out. I've heard though, that many santa fe's require the removal of the entire front bumper fascia just to get to the bulbs in which case you'd have to remove your headlights to get to the screws holding the bumper fascia on
