2 Answers
The method to remove the Santa Fe's fog lights is: 1. Use specialized tools to remove the fog light cover; 2. Unscrew the fog light bolts and disconnect the wiring harness. The Santa Fe is a mid-size SUV launched by Beijing Hyundai. Taking the Santa Fe 2020 Automatic Two-Wheel Drive Elite Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4930 mm, width 1910 mm, height 1720 mm, with a wheelbase of 2865 mm. The Santa Fe 2020 Automatic Two-Wheel Drive Elite Edition is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 169 kW and a maximum torque of 353 Nm. Its front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension.
The steps to remove the Santa Fe fog lights I've done it a few times. The fog lights on the Santa Fe are usually located at the bottom corners of the front bumper, and you'll need to open the hood to access them. Prepare your tools—I used a Phillips screwdriver and gloves to prevent hand injuries. First, park the car on a flat surface, turn off the engine, and let it cool for about ten minutes. Disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety, as the fog light wiring might still carry current. Then, locate the screws securing the fog lights on the inner side of the bumper—there are usually two or three. Carefully unscrew them without stripping the heads. Gently pull out the fog light unit, and you'll see the electrical connector. Press the small tab to release and disconnect it. If the screws are rusted, don't force them—spray some lubricant and wait a few minutes before trying again. To reinstall, just reverse the steps, and don't forget to test if the new bulb lights up. When I did it myself to save on repair costs, the whole process took about 20 minutes with careful attention, and I even cleaned the bumper gaps while at it.
