How do you change a bulb on a Hyundai Coupe 1999?

Answer 1

It would depend on the bulb in question.

Most bulbs are held in their position by a socket that screws into the light housing.

Locate the appropriate replacement bulb for the bulb in question. Most automotive stores have a book in the bulb section that allows you to look up the proper replacement.

Unscrew the socket from the bulb housing by twisting counter clockwise.

Remove the old bulb.

Remove the new bulb from the packaging. Be careful not to touch the bulb as the oils from your hands may cause the glass to heat excessively and shatter. Handle the bulb with a clean cloth or disposable gloves. If you touch the bulb, a little isopropanol alcohol on a clean cloth should remove any grease.

Fit the bulb into the socket and make sure it is seated properly and lighting up.

Return the socket to the light housing, carefully aligning the tabs on the neck of the socket with their respective slots in the light housing.

Twist the socket in a clockwise direction.

Return any covers or carpeting you removed to get at the bulb and you should be finished.

Never service any HID (High Intensity Discharge) system without disconnecting the battery as it may result in shock.

Consult your Vehicle's Owners Manual before attempting any maintenance.
