There is a lot to do to change a fog light on a Tucson. This video will show you how to do it. The LED replacement bulbs I used: amzn.to/36Fp2N7 (affiliate link)
Yikes! That is crazy! It is a little fiddly, but not too bad if you take your time. Some have also suggested pulling off the wheel and going through the wheel well, but I have never looked into that. Good luck!
I used a Craftsman 3 Ton Hydraulic Floor Jack I bought about 25 years ago for working on my cars. You can use the tire jack from the well, but make sure to also use 3 Ton supports to provide secure safety in case the Jack falls. You cannot do this without lifting up the car because it has a bracket in the front of the Limited Edition ones that is underneath the shroud cover. Otherwise my head will not fit and my nose is smashed trying to see. With it jacked up I can easily see and work on it. OMG there were like 20 bolts holding the shroud cover on!
My boss has one of these and with dropping the plastic cover everytime you need to do an oil change or bulb replacement I recomended either leaving it off doing what I did for my Mazda! Cutting a hole for access to the oil filter and drain plug!
If I hadn't been trying to film, it probably would have taken 30-45 minutes. Some other folks have suggested going through the wheel wells and that is something I would look into. I have not had to change lights again, so I have not tried that myself.
Man, your comment was a life saver. I was gonna go and change my fog light to LED, and I wasn't sure if there was gonna be an error if the wattage was too low. I was gonna go out there and unplug my foglight just to see if there would be an error, but you answered my question
I recommend you put the new bulb in first before putting the clip back on. Also, you can remove the chained cable from the plug on the other side of the little white cone. The bulb is on the outer side of the white cone. Do not turn and remove the inner plug or you will see just wires and not a bulb.
No, it looks like you need an 880 style like this: amzn.to/3qwNIm2 (affiliate link). Just go to any site that sells parts (Amazon included) and enter the details of your vehicle to filter only the parts that fit your car.
Thanks for the video I'm a woman who enjoys doing pairs on my tucson.
Thanks for showing us how to do this because my dealership wants to charge me 300$ for the install plus 40$ for the bulb.

Found you via your mosquito video. I am impressed by the DIY variety on your channel, sir! Cheers from Vancouver! =)
Thank you. I try film anytime i have the time to do so. I figure that even if it only helps 1 or 2 people, it's worth it.
@@DavinDesborough Mighty fine of you! Yeah, I cook and I wrench on my own cars, too, so I think we're pretty similar. =)
@@DavinDesborough Your great sir, I love your videos as they are not same kind but very unique stuff, Im enjoying
@@kunaltelang789 Thank you!

i always twist and pop the bulb out and then disconnect these suckers. does that work for these bulb sockets as well?

So does your car have the ‘cornering function’ built into the fog lights?…..if so, wondering if it still worked after changing bulbs?
No it does not have that. They just stay on all the time on my Tucson.
Are you using replacement low beam bulbs aswell? Seems they are more white.
No. Those are the factory high intensity discharge (HID) lights.
How long did it take you to do both sides? Is it easier through the wheel wells or underneath?
If I hadn't been trying to film, it probably would have taken 30-45 minutes. Some other folks have suggested going through the wheel wells and that is something I would look into. I have not had to change lights again, so I have not tried that myself.
Did you try to get to the bulb socket threw the wheel well plastic instead of taking the whole bottom shield off ?
No. I do want to look at that if I ever need to do it again. It might be more direct. If I ever do it and find it is better, I'll post an update.
When the fog lamp bulb is died, is there a warning on the dashboard? What wattage do you use on the led bulb?
No warning light, I just noticed it was out. The bulb I used amzn.to/36Fp2N7 (affiliate link)

Hello did you use the h10 or h11?
H11 there is a link in the description. Have fun!
Will these cause error codes on dashboard due to no resistors? Thanks
I have had no issues. Still running those same LEDs 2.5 years later.
So you must have a yellow halogen light bulb for sale. I prefer the more romantic softer tone lights. How much for the light bulb?
$5 plus shipping should cover it. 😂😂
It was brighter. Thank you
H8? Same for 2012?

@@DavinDesborough thks for the soon answer
It's easier to replace the fog lights through the front wheel by removing the fender cover.
