How to replace HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY (headlamp) on Hyundai Santa Fe 2013-2017

How to replace HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY (headlamp) on Hyundai Santa Fe 2013-2017

This is a fast-paced tutorial for replacing the headlight assembly (sometimes referred to as headlamp or housing) on a 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe. The vehicle shown in this video is equipped with the optional HID headlights and auto leveling. Make sure you are aware of your lighting package before you order your parts!

To replace the headlight bulb itself you do not need to remove the complete assembly. But removing or replacing the HID ballast WILL require the removal of the complete assembly.

This can be a costly service at the dealership due to the labor involved in removing the front bumper cover (sometimes referred to as the front facia). You will need to replace the front bumper cover to replace a broken or bad fog light (fog lamp).

Here is a link to the headlight assembly I installed in this video

Here is a list of tools I use in this video in order of which they appear (links are for similar tools):
10mm socket – https://amzn.to/2NGZJkg
#2 Phillips screwdriver – https://amzn.to/2Nq8gtd
12mm socket – listed in kit above

I use an electric ratchet in this video instead of a standard ratchet. It is not required to use an electric or air ratchet for this repair but it definitely cuts down on repair time. Here is a link to an affordable electric ratchet – https://amzn.to/2GxwSvU

Hi there, quick question? If I only want to replace the fog light bulbs can I just swap them out by accessing the panel from the bottom? or do I have to remove the full front panel? thanks

Jose Escorza says:

Do you have to remove the whole front clip?

Nice work and make it look easy. Long gone are the days of the old 7 inch round headlamp with 3 or 4 screws holding it in.
