4. Remove the rear turn signal socket. You will need to twist the socket counterclockwise. It only needs to be turned about half a turn.
5. Pull out the turn signal bulb from the socket. Be careful not to break the bulb. Use glove. Avoid breaking the bulb as this can cause injuries.
6. Press the new turn signal light bulb into the socket. Next, install the socket into the tail light. Push the socket into the rear tail light assembly and twist it.
7. Twist the turn signal socket clockwise to lock it in place. Once you install the turn signal bulb into your Hyundai Elantra rear taillight, install the taillight into the body of the car. Tighten the three bolts. No need to overtighten them, or you risk cracking the rear tail light assembly.
