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 - ;)

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. ❤❤❤💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

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

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.

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.

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! 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! 🙌🙏✨

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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!

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

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!

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

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.

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!

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

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

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

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 :)

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 !

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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!)

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

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

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".....

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

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

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. :)

Thank you, passenger-side! Easy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

this help a lot thank you Dad

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

I fixed my daughters car myself. Thank you!

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

HERE'S THE HACK FOR THIS. 25 TO 35 MINUTES, ZERO LABOUR COST! It's very easy to create "key" from wood. I did it with a small piece of pine 1 inch thick, a little chalk, and a handsaw. The key took 30+ minutes to create while changing the low beam bulbs (both sides) took 5 minutes each. Use passenger's side cover as template, it is easy to remove, usually. Chalk the spines on the cover and press them on the wood where they leave a calk imprint. Use a saw cut to create the key and you're in business. I couldn't post a pic or vid - sorry; contact me and l will email the picture. 2017 Elantra four door. Kudos to High Tech Dad. I've used other tips from here successfully. I don't know if the dealers have a special tool but it's so simple!!

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

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

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

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

Dad is currently screaming at me and throwing his sockets having a fit like a baby. I showed him this video but he won’t even just sit down, breathe, and watch it all the way through. Ugh.

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

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!

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

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

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

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

Faith in humanity restored

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 $.

Thanks for this video. Super helpful.

Very easy to follow guide, thank you!

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

The only bad part about replacing them at the same time is that they might burn out exactly at the same time. Hopefully you won’t need to drive anywhere after dark until you get “them” replaced. Normally not a problem but what if you are someplace after dark and can’t get the bulbs. If only one goes out at a time, you can still drive the car to get a replacement bulb.

thank you doing mine today on the drivers side

Before removing the headlight assembly on the driver side, try to remove the bulb first. They don’t give you much room, but it was enough for me to do it. I don’t have huge hands and it was a bit tight but still had wiggle room. It was manageable and didn’t need any tools.

I found it really difficult to get the lamp back in. Aligning and getting the clips to snap was a real challenge. I found that unscrewing some of the black plastic screws near the front of the car (in the video, they are to the left of the lamp; you can see them in the video) gave the bumper more give and allowed me to more easily get that front clip to slide in (whereas before, it was just sitting on top of it)

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

Also, real jealous of how you and seemingly everyone's hands get to fit in those gloves but mine. I think there's like a half-inch extra in the ones my job gets us lol oh well

Great video. How are those new bulbs working out... Have they lasted long? Do you get more visibility?

Thanks. The Elantra Touring has slightly different shaped headlights but the basic principles are the same. EXCEPT, it uses the "incredibly rare" H11b lights that have a different connector and are attached by 3 Phillips head screws.
