Introduction
This guide will show you how to replace the front turn signal bulb in a 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe. Maintenance is an important aspect of owning and operating your car, and turn signals are an integral part of safely driving your car. Fortunately, they are pretty easy to replace yourself with minimal tools and materials. The tools you will need are a pair of slip-joint pliers, a pair of latex (or similar material) gloves, and something to prop your hood open (in this case we used a small strip of wood). The materials you will need are a clear, 27-watt replacement turn signal lightbulb.
