2002 headlight assembly replacement

Mar 23, 2007 4 Replies

Does anybody know how easy it is for an ordinary guy to replace the entire headlight assembly on a 2002 Hyundia Sonata? The orginal headlights have moisture on the inside of the lens and they are getting cloudy and ugly looking. Thanks ......

the halogen bulbs should pop out after unscrewing a cap and unfastening a metal clip from inside the engine bay (don't touch the bulbs with your bare hands - you don't want to get oil on them). Then you should be able to clean the assembly inside with a rag and possibly a 1' section of broom handle or something like that. If its just water it should clean up easily and nicely.

I don't think he was asking about the bulbs.

Well, maybe I?ll see if I can clean the water out of there before I replace them. It can?t hurt....

Thanks for the help...
