Replying to: pekelopd (Mar 18, 2007 4:20 pm) From wikipedia:   1.) unplug the connector in the trunk (white, directly under lamp).   2.) remove the 2 gold-colored screws from inside the trunk. They can be seen from the trunk. 1 is thru the larger square opening where the wire connects to the 3rd brake light. The 2nd is on the right side thru a small (screwdriver width) hole covered by a piece of foam tape stuff.   3.) after removing the 2 screws, go inside the cabin and the brake light housing pops right up.   4.) disconnect the bulb from the housing while inside the cabin.   5.) in the trunk remove the wire and bulb. (it's about 5 inches long. the wire from the connector to the bulb socket)   6.) reverse steps to install.

I may be a woman in a man's car world ... but I'm not stupid!   A friend and I had gotten to the first step in your instructions, but then we moved on to something else when it got tought.   Can't wait to try this .... in your face HYUNDAI!

Someone suggests find a new dealer. What should I find...I paid $150 to replace the bulb...told rear seat needed to be removed, Dealer says design flaw,,,Hyuandai says they don'y tell the learder what to charge and they can only record my complaint. If they have enough they MAY do something about it. Very frustrating and soured an otherwise good buying expereince. Company is rapidly learming how to put off customers. Why don't we all flood California HQ w/complaints on this?? Replies to this message: rajnish7 (Jul 02, 2009 11:26 am) osaka75 (Aug 05, 2009 11:10 am) rajnish7 (Aug 05, 2009 11:37 am)

Replying to: rajnish7 (Jul 02, 2009 11:26 am) Thanks for the info on Walmart. Report back to let us know if they really could do this for $4 labor.   I was happy that I only paid $50 for the replacement, as the first dealer I visited wanted $85. Next time I'll do it myself if it's really as easy as reported above. Replies to this message: rajnish7 (Aug 05, 2009 11:37 am)

Replying to: osaka75 (Aug 05, 2009 11:10 am) Actually i just realised that this discussion is for high tail light..i was talking about the brake lights (lower ones on both sides). I did got my brake lights replaced on both sides at walmart yesterday. and they really did it for 2.95 (total) ..actually they should have charged $2 for each side ($4 total for labor) but they weived it as they took 45 mins instead of the 15 min they promised. And i didnt even asked for a waiver. Trust me go to walmart and save yourself a bunch of money. Hopefully it should be similarly low cost affair for the high tail lamp replacement. -Rajnish
