Hi, in this quick video I will show how to change replace remove install headlight bulbs in 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Hyundai Veloster high beam low beam headlamp
I was just quoted $200 for this job by Hyundai. Thanks to your great video I bought a replacement bulb for $11 & completed the job in 5min. Thank you so much!!
@@MrBlizzetta I found another video right here on TH-cam where the guy shows how to put your hand in and remove the cover and put the light in yourself. I went to Walmart and found the light bulb for $11 and got it replaced in less than 5 minutes.
@@MrBlizzetta yep, I took my car out of pep boys after $1100 optional 2 sensor repair. I ok’d job, then few mins later (3-4 mins) I realized it was already running fine based on previous convo and called to cancel, manager: “we already jacked up your car and started replacing it, and no returns on sensors”. 4 hrs later I went to pick up my car & they hadn’t touched it. After arguing with manager I got my car next day w/out the optional repairs. Just paid the 200 oil change and diagnosis. All diagnosis said was owner works on car 🤷♂️ still don’t know what was wrong with vehicle, maybe clogged filter 🤷♂️ car being moody then, don’t know
Thank you! Other videos I saw made it look like we had to remove pieces of the fender to get to it. That looks like a tight fit, but not NEARLY as hard as we thought it was going to be. Appreciate the video!
Thank you so much for this! After going to three automotive stores asking them to help me, I figured out that I could do it myself with your help. Very straightforward and easy. Changed the bulb within 5 minutes. Again thank you so much!
The car in the video has normal low beam headlights. If your Veloster has projection headlights (the led ring around it) the technique will be the same but differ slightly. The trick will be to push in while you are turning. There is little room for any leverage so swearing might help in this situation. Look at the H11B replacement bulbs to get an idea of the procedure.
I watched this after completing the replacement thinking there’s no way anyone is crazy enough to try this at home. It was also dark outside and I was being attacked by mosquitos and I do not want to ever do it again. Anyway, I just came to say… my husband and I are very impressed you went for the hardest light to change for this video. Suddenly my hands felt huge in this space. Bravo man!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great video, i was able to get a better angle by putting my head at the front windshield instead of being under the hood, to see. I also used a pair of needle nose pliers. For the 2015 turbo, the lamps are a little different but with the same concept. Turning the lamp to the left and pulling out slowly 👌🏿. The base of the lamp and wires will stay attached to the vehicle. The lamp will be the only thing being disconnected when turning. Hope this help
Thank you so much for the video just got my car inspection and light was out they didn’t know how to replace and neither did I or my husband until your video thanks for saving me time and money of going to a mechanic you literally have my exact car and color
Thanks for the video. My hands are quite small but even I struggled with the one. But still only took about 5 minutes of fighting to get it out, even without tools. Painful as it is, still easier than any other car I've owned.
Dude, you are SO right on how tricky that driver's side low beam light is to replace. I dread every time it goes out! If only they made that space just a little bit wider for easier maintenance.
That’s what I had to do some minutes ago! Thought I was the only one. I could not find my pliers, so I used a pipe wrench. My fingers and gloves COULD NOT do my driver’s side. I did the passenger many months ago without this much trouble. Wish I saw your post, I’ve been trying for days and finally said I’d use needle nose pliers even if I break it, everything looks intact though.
Yo thanks for making this video my dude, I thought I was gonna have to tear off the bumper and shit. This is the only time I. My life where my tiny hands and midget genetics haven't held me back!
I did this and struggled for ages trying to get the low beam bulb back in its place. The low beam is in a very tight spot indeed. Can be done though depending on dexterity and the size of your hands! I see why it’s easier to take the bumper off, just a bigger job and you may need tools that you don’t have already 🤔 that’s why I did it the hard way 😂
Once you get the first cap off I used a long set of needle nose and turned it to the right slightly and it came right out, it was a little hard on knucles putting back in but I got it!
first thing to do before beginning this service, is to disconnect the negative battery terminal and allow the car to sit for at least 30 minutes before beginning. If not done electrical shock may by given to you or a short in the electrical system may happen.
Nonsense if something shorts when connecting a plastic plug you've got bigger problems than a blown bulb. You're far more likely to cause a short or get shocked by messing around with the battery. Not to mention that unfamilar with cars (ie audience of this video) dealing with electricity is scary enough without then needing to fiddle with metal tools and risking shorting the battery. Just make sure the car is switched off completely (ie no ACC either). If you do need to disco the battery for any reason there's no need to wait either, the worst that can happen is a weak static shock - you're dealing with a 12V battery not 240V mains supply
Thank you for showing me this. I was just quoted $241 to change just the ONE headlight because he said you have to take off the front bumper to do it and it would take an hour and a half! Talk about a load of BS
I did this myself, I have big hands, so I had to sag the front bumper. It wasn’t that difficult. Better than going to a shop, they quoted me $200 for the “intense labor” 😂
Has anyone noticed a wiring short type of issue when manually turning the headlights on? My switch is very touchy and if I'm not cateful, there have been times when the lights should have been on based on switch position and they were not, but with a slight touch or nudge of the knob the lights flixer back to working. 2015 Hyundai Veloster

Got Quoted $180 and told they had to remove the front bumper...WOW!
I hate mechanics in the US, legal scam artists.

This added tip of pushing in while turning made a world of difference! Thanks so much for that or I would have never got that to turn.
Gonna try it now cause I’ve been fighting with it for 20 minutes and destroyed my 2 hands
@@psykooozz I know it’s 4 months ago , but did you ever get it yourself? Im having this problem myself
@@primnav2058 I went to a garage 😂
@@psykooozz I had the same issue, done now but only just read this 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Thank you for taking the time to make this video! I'm so proud that I can do this on my own now without going to the shop. :)
U made this look way easier than it is lol u must have lil hands
I’m sayin bruh I have small hands and I can’t do it🤣
@@datturbor-spec I had to grab pliers so I could even turn it
Me too
Bro I got skinny hands and was like am I doing this right there’s gotta be an easier way and there’s not 😅
Yeah, I'm not looking forward to doing this. Hate maintenance

How's the hubby doing does he still want Maryjane?

There is a way to made more space by opening one screw and lift a litle bit the all flashlight
@@liad87alkobi Come again?
This helped a lot I always like to watch vids on how to do it before hand to kinda get an idea on what to do 😊
You’re a legend to me bro. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Thanks for the vid 🙏🏾
Way to go. Best video for this bulb change. FYI I had to use a smaller set of fingers and hand .
Thanks! To people having trouble, try using some pliers on one of the notches to get some leverage on the knob. Helps a lot

Tried the pliers. Now I have a broken knob to go with my broken bulb
@@brr4762 😂
Why is this bulb so hard to change. Wtf
Try doing a Chevy HHR
You’re a legend mate 🙏🏽
I appreciate your video with real time. Thank You for the informative video ❤

Thank you sm, the last time I did this we just removed the whole headlight assembly 😂😂😂
Yeah, once you take the first cap off, the second cap is so hard to turn I cut open my finger trying to turn it, so good luck.
Jacob Borders Same here man pissed me off
Same I can't even turn it bro what the hell
#Gloves
Same same
I cut my hand trying to turn it back in!
If you use slip joint pliers to turn the bulb. It takes maybe 32 seconds
“Had to put some effort into this” you must be a very strong man or I’m very weak, the forums i read had people using tools to unlock that bulb
Once you get the first cap off I used a long set of needle nose and turned it to the right slightly and it came right out, it was a little hard on knucles putting back in but I got it!
You just saved me some cash
you the man
Get you some extended straight and curved needle nose pliers to twist the light bulb. Made it much easier.
Hi there, I replaced the bulk but my driver side headlight still isn’t working! Do you know which fuse is it? I’m thinking my fuse is out!
Same here. What was it?
It was pretty easy replacing them. I did with low light conditions.
Does a Hyundai veloster have clips to hold the bulb in or do they just screw in.
first thing to do before beginning this service, is to disconnect the negative battery terminal and allow the car to sit for at least 30 minutes before beginning. If not done electrical shock may by given to you or a short in the electrical system may happen.
Nonsense if something shorts when connecting a plastic plug you've got bigger problems than a blown bulb. You're far more likely to cause a short or get shocked by messing around with the battery.

Great video, very helpful 👍🏻
Pro tip: use a pair of channel lock pliers to grab and twist the bulb base
Thx bro, you help me a lot. :)
It’s crazy what the dealerships want to do simple customer service items. They wanted more than the filters cost to change those out
So are they h11. Cause the guy at autozone said h11b and they don't plug in
You're awesome thank you!
Doing this today, I have small hands so im not removing the bumper lol.
Thank you for showing me this. I was just quoted $241 to change just the ONE headlight because he said you have to take off the front bumper to do it and it would take an hour and a half!
Talk about a load of BS
Wow they saw you coming...
They would have gotten cussed out up and down trying that bs on me 😂 takes 5 mins dont gotta take no damn bumper off.
Dont touch the bulb with your hand, the oil from your hand will burn the bulb out.
Thank you !
pro tip you can take out the whole headlight, with 3 bolts saves a lot of time
I did this myself, I have big hands, so I had to sag the front bumper. It wasn’t that difficult. Better than going to a shop, they quoted me $200 for the “intense labor” 😂
Thank you, you just saved me 100 dollars not to have the dealership put it in for me..
Easy.
Thanks
2016 veloster has H11B for The light bulb it's hard to get you Can get a LED on ebay
*If your hands are small, it is quicks. If they not get some pliers and you will be fine!*
Ugh this is so hard on the Driver's side. The fuse box is right behind the headlight so I don't have room to reach in and grab the bulb >.
For real. I even went at it with pliers and it didn't work.. Had to take it into a mechanic and spend 100$ to get the stupid thing replaced
you can take the 2 bolts out and pull the headlight up a good bit to get more room
Thank you
Turn counter-clockwise. I used pliers for extra leverage.
Thank you 🙏🏻!!!!
Didn't want to fight with it so just decided to take the whole assembly out.
I'm 5'11, and I don't feel I have particularly large hands, this was absolutely impossible for me.
Has anyone noticed a wiring short type of issue when manually turning the headlights on? My switch is very touchy and if I'm not cateful, there have been times when the lights should have been on based on switch position and they were not, but with a slight touch or nudge of the knob the lights flixer back to working.

Just in case it's early and you like excuses like me... Try turning the light the other way.
The gap was too small even for the wife's tiny hands, found a pair of long reach bent nose pliers did the trick
She must have big hands because I have pretty big hands and still could perfectly
@@marrilynastorga4214 same.
Dude how? I remove the housing and I still can’t get my hand in there
Is it that easy?? Thanks
How big is your hands foreal?
Don’t touch the bulb. The oils on your skin will prematurely burn your bulb.
THIS IS TRUE JUST GLOVES!
The bulbs would have to be re-aligned after the replacement, correct?
As long as they are matched in the holes and turns in. Then no. It’s built to be lined up.
@@MaVoelk Great, thanks!
Thank you 🙏🏾 #Lilhands
I cannot get the bulbs to come out lol idk why
I actually hate this twist in design I’d rather the spring clamp kinda way
You must have tiny feminine hand as bro. My big hands had no fit or leverage to remove in that small space.
“Tiny feminine hands” chill out cuhh
I had a fight to unscrew it, I still have a dead light bulb.
sounds like a skill issue
Seriously must have small hands lol
Chrisfix ripoff obv
You’re not really good at explaining things. Sorry. You should mention ok twist lightbulb clockwise etc
I’m trying to change the exact bulb projection lights and I swear to god it’s the most frustrating thing in the world
Thanks
