It's not for the Accent, but disassembly of the headlight units is similar and the process is nearly the same.

i did it in like 10 mins both headlights only prob is once i did it you need a new headlight if you ever want them back or unless you got spares i got like 5 accents for parts so i just went for it it worked great.. i just took the headlight out and with a set of needle nose vice grips i grabbed the amber and detached it from the headlight so it was just loose then it just mashed the amber with the vice grips till the pieces were small enough to go threw the hole lol. pretty simple beat taking the headlight apart for me.. i was thinking with one of my other spare takeing them apart and smoking them any tips on how to do that anyone?

Did this years ago on my old 05 Accent, it works fairly well if your fastidious when resealing, I wasnt and had to clear silicon the seam to keep the condensation out. Note thou wear gloves when pulling the headlight apart, trust me 150-200 deg may not sound hot but it is. Law and regulation wise if you install the turn signal bulbs that look clear but light up amber then your completely legal, speaking from personal experience.

 

Took me bout half an hour to do myself.

 

i did it no problemmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

pics????????????????????????????

 

I preheated the oven to 150.
Placed headlight in there, one at a time for 15 minutes.
Now as you take it out of the oven after 15 minutes, You need to pry it a part.
This part can be tricky, because if it cools too much you have to put it back in the oven.
Wear gloves or something because its hot.
Do not touch any of the chrome reflective pieces as they could flake off or chip.
Just take the corner piece out and then put the light back together.
I bought clear sealant but didnt end up using it because i did a good job of getting them back together fine.














YUP

I no longer have the yellow bulbs in there.
I now have chrome bulbs that blink amber.
