How to Replace Fog Lights 2007-10 Hyundai Elantra

Hey friends, it's Len here at 1A Auto. Today I'm working on a 2007 Hyundai Elantra. I'm going to show you how to do some fog lamp assemblies. It's going to be a fairly simple job. I want to be the guy that shows you how to do it. If you need these or any other part, you can always check us out at 1aauto.com thanks.

Okay, so here we go. We're going to go ahead and we're going to take out this bolt right here. There should be one right there. It's broken. That happens. Anyway, we're gonna use a 10 millimeter on this particular application. Turn it to the left, counterclockwise so we can remove it.

There it is. Super long for no apparent reason. Put that aside. Grab this, put this unit aside. Cool. All right, so now we can see we've got a couple of little push clips here. They just kind of go along over this way and everything. So all we're going to do, we're going to use two tools, I've got a phillips-head, I'm going to use it, turn to the left. This is going to start lifting this up for me. Once it gets up enough, I can get my screwdriver under there. Then I should be able to just pop it right up.

Nothing ever works on video. Come on. There it is. So when this is pushed in, it spreads all those legs and folds it in. Okay, so I'll just remove all these. Here we are, last one. I'm just going to give this a little wiggle, see if we can get it to move around. It seems like it's coming off pretty well. Perfect. Let's bring the vehicle up a little bit, and we'll start taking apart anything that might be coming from the wheel well just in case there's any holding it in there. And then along the bottom, and we should be able to pop this puppy right off. So right here there's a small bolt that comes through this and then up into the fender. Okay, so I'm just gonna go ahead and remove that.

Here it is, and we do the same on the other side of the vehicle. Now we'll continue bringing the vehicle up. Okay, so up in here, we have our fog lamp assemblies, right? If you wanted to take this wiring harness off of it, all you're going to do, is this a little squeeze tab right here, there's one located right on the other side, just going to grab them, squeeze them, give it a little tug, pull it down. I'm going to give that a try. Let's see, here we are. We'll take a look at the harness here. Make sure there's no funny colors, no rust or rainbow colors. Everything looks pretty great. We'll set this aside. We'll go over and do the same thing to the other side of the vehicle. If I can get in, give those a squeeze, hopefully. Pull it down. Now take a peek. It looks pretty clean, that looks great to me. Now we'll move along.

So I'm just going to pull out the clips that are down along the bottom here. Your vehicle may have them going all the way around. This one's missing a whole bunch. So it is what it is, but basically you just want to make sure that you have anything that's holding your bumper cover to anything else like the wheel well, you got another clip right here, so I'll grab this one. You want to make sure you have all those out. Okay, so if yours has two, take out two, if yours has 20 of them holding it together, well sorry for you, but we'll keep moving here. All right,

I'll put this last one aside. We'll bring the vehicle back down and we'll start going from the top. Start taking this puppy off. Okay, so we've got all the bumper cover taken apart as much as we can. Now it's time to just grip it and give it a little tug. Here we go. It seems like it's sticking anywhere, just try to lift it, and there we are.

Now we've removed our bumper cover. Okay, so we've got four Phillips heads, we've got one down here, one right there, here and there. Like wherever you want to start, put it in here. Take these out, pull that out of here. There we are. Let's get rid of that.

Here we are friends, a quick product comparison for you: here we have our old fog lamp assembly off of our 2007 Hyundai Elantra, we just removed it. It was pretty easy, and over here we have our brand new quality 1A Auto part right here. This thing, as you could tell, is mint. You're going to get so much light and emittance through that. It comes with all the mounting holes that you need. One, two, three, four. Same thing like what we removed. It comes with a brand new bulb. It's always a good habit to keep your old one just in case. Sometimes during shipping who knows, the filament goes bad, whatever it may be.

Get your little adjustment right here. If you need to adjust your fog lamps up and down, this has everything that you're going to need. I would say that I'm going to go ahead and install this into the vehicle and we'll see how it looks. I'm sure it's gonna look great. If you need this or any other part, you can always check out 1aauto.com. Thanks

So here we go. We'll get our fog lamp back in. Got a little piton there and one right there. Okay. So we're just gonna try to line up the holes. That's what those are for. They're supposed to show us where the fog lamp needs to be. I'm just going to start the bottom one in a little bit, and then we'll move along. That's all the rest of them. I'm not going to tighten it up fully until I get them all started at least. Here we are, that one there. That's good. There it is. We'll do the same to the other fog lip. We'll move along.

So here we go. Let's get our bumper cover up close to the car. We're gonna be careful for any paint. I don't want to scratch up any paint. Okay, I get it so it's sitting up here. Just going to come along the side. There's a little lip right along the bumper cover, needs to go up in here. Okay. So whenever you gotta do to make it happen, I just grab into where the grill is. Give it a little tug, wiggle it. There we are, give it a little bonk, bonk, bonk, screw that in.

Same thing on the other side. Screw this side in, cool. All right, let's grab some screws and some push pins, we'll move along. We've got our little push clips. I'm just going to start them in here. You just push in the center. Okay, do the same for all these. Nice. All right, so now let's re-install this right here. We've got a little air duct hole here, one there. Got a little air duct there, and one there. So we'll just line those two up. Start with the rearward facing one first. Slide it in and grab the bottom one and we'll just line this up with the holes right here. Start this right in using a 10 millimeter. Tighten it up. It's just rubber there so we don't need to go too much tighter than that. This one's already broken, so let's go ahead and move underneath. We'll move along.

We've got our little screw that's going to go right up in the corner of this bumper, right under there. Okay. Take it, line it up with the hole here. I might have to wiggle it around. Here it is. Let me get this on there. There we are, perfect. Get that pressed in there. We'll do the same to the other side of the bumper and we'll bring it up and continue on the bottom. We've got our wiring harness for our fog lamp. You'll notice it's got a little notch out of it and the fog lamp bulb itself has a little stud coming through, so I'm just going to line up the notch with the stud in the bulb and try to squeeze them together.

I get that nice and latched in, give it a little tug. Feels good. We'll do the same to the other one. Find our notch. Here it is. Goes on the outside. Let's get this lined up, squeeze it up and in. Here we are. Cool. We've got a couple of push clips. We'll go ahead and get those pushed in real quick. As you can tell, this thing's kind of busted up under here. It's missing a whole bunch of parts. Yours may or may not have any of this. Who knows?

There we are, we'll go with the assumption that they're all going across here and it looks beautiful. Okay, great job, everybody.
