2002 Accent headlight bulb change
 

Hello,
Trying to do the above. Manual says to first unplug the electrical
connector, but it doesn't budge. I don't want to force it, not sure I'm
doing this right. Any suggestions? Thank you.

There's a locking retainer on the connector. It needs to be depressed to
release the lock. If you cannot feel around and find it, try pulling the
rubber boot back, unclipping the bulb, and pulling the whole thing out
where you can maneuver it.

Finally got around to doing this....I wasn't able to unplug the electrical
connector first, so I ended up doing what you suggested.

In case anyone else needs to change their bulb, you unlock the connector by
depressing the plug on both sides at once, where your thumb & index finger
might naturally grasp it.

Thanks again, hyundaitech!
