    Thanks bro! Just changed the bulb on my 2002 Elantra GLS. Had my 5yr old son w/ me holding my iPhone playing your video while I changed the bulb. Removing the tail light from the car wasn't as easy as you made it look, probably because you're a pro and I'm an amateur, but your video made it operation success. My son thinks I'm a freaking superhero now! Great job and thanks again!!! Great work. Keep it up!!!

    Your video was really helpful. I couldn't get the darn bulb out and thanks to you I saw what I was doing wrong. Went back outside and popped it right out! All fixed. Thank you!

    thank you very much. this was very helpful and easy to follow. I'm learning how to fix things on my car in honour of my dad who always wanted to get me in the garage to teach me these things when I was little. Sadly, he passed before I was old enough to appreciate his vast knowledge and skill, and I missed out on the quality time. last month I replaced the rebar and front bumper cover on my 08 elantra. next I want to learn how to replace the horn (which was damaged along with the fan... trailer hitch through the grill on the highest). could you post about replacing a horn? also need new rear brake pads I think.....

    Thank you so much. That showed me perfectly what I need to do. You didn't drivel on and your camera work was excellent. Well done. Much better than one I just looked at before yours. I've always worked on cars but find the newer models make home maintenance a lot harder. As a previous commenter wrote, I too was assuming it could just be changed from inside the boot.

    Replacing the brake light in my 2003 Hyundai Accent today. I'm short on money so the 15$ the shop wanted to charge me was too much of a convenience fee for me to pay for... got a bulb for much cheaper, and literally came here just to check whether I twist out or pull out the bulb. Thanks for the clear illustration!

    I should have looked up ur video first. I took my car in for a oil change and had a break light out apparently. They charged me $33 for labor on just the light bulb and $3.49 for the light bulb. I didn’t know that until I got the receipt. I feel like if I was a man they would have given me a heads up on the labor. I am very handy and would have done it myself. Thank u for saving me future $$

  • @rickpatrinellis6558

    Thanks for posting this. I had my reverse light go out and though I could not see it from the video i am assuming it is a like socket at the lower part of the tail light assembly. Very well done.

    I didnt have any problems with the exhaust manifold on this car, are you having an exhaust leak? you might need a exhaust manifold gasket, or the flange gasket where the exhaust manifold connects to the pipe. Tx for watching!

    Just buy a basic tool set from harbor freight or walmart with screwdrivers and metric sockets and you will be fine. I think they were 8mm nuts for this car but not a 100%. GL

    Sorry I am not sure how to tell you without seeing it, but take your time and look around the piece to see if there are other screws or clips holding it in. You should not have to cut anything to get to the light bulbs. gl
