2021 - 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe - How to Upgrade Reverse Lights to LED
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 08. 2022
- This week we tackle the next item on our upgrade list for our 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe...the reverse lights. With all the beautiful lighting, the old yellow incandescent bulbs are just plain ugly. Thanks to our channel sponsor, Auxito, we're correcting that problem with their 921 LED Reverse bulbs.

Thanks again, folks. I just fitted those bulbs today. You made it look simple, and it WAS simple. Keep up the good work!
Hi John, Thank you so much for following up with the news and kind words. It's greatly appreciated. We're happy we were able to help in your journey of making your Santa Fe one step better. Stay safe out there!!
Great tips! Love the upgrade, they look so much better👍🏼👍🏼
Hi French. Thank you for watching and sharing the kind words. We appreciate it. A nice and inexpensive upgrade for anyone.
Quick & to the point. Excellent as usual guys !!
Thank you Brian. We appreciate you watching and sharing the kind words.
I did this upgrade and WOW! What a huge difference. Do please follow her advice when removing the lens assembly, as it is a bit trickier than it needed to be, but she did a great job explaining all of it. Plastic tool is a Must!
Hi Dave. Thank you so much for watching and sharing the kind words as well as your journey with everyone. We really appreciate it and glad to hear you feel the same as we do with them. Stay safe out there!
Nice upgrade! I really like the ones I did, as I have to back out onto a semi busy street from my driveway. Makes seeing at night better, and people can tell I'm backing out!
Thank you for watching Evan. We appreciate it. We agree, these should always be one of the first upgrades anyone does to their car. With us being out in the woods, that brighter light is incredibly helpful just to help light up the path behind us. LOL. You offer another great example of how they can help.
Talk about an easy, inexpensive yet noticeably improved upgrade. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. We appreciate you sharing!
Awesome. I was looking for just such a video. You read my mind, thanks!
Hi glw1973. Thank you so much for watching and sharing. We really appreciate that. Love how the timing was just right for you and we hope this helped you out with a bulb option.
Thanks for explaining in great detail - very important for guys like me who are not good with tools. Was glad you showed how different the bulbs look in the dark. Wow! Big improvement!
Hi DWopper2, thank you very much for watching and sharing. We really appreciate that. We try to do our best when it comes to install videos like these to help every way we can so anyone can do them with the right tools. These certainly make a world of difference.
@@SpiritedWrenchers can you please recommend Red LED brake/park bulbs size for 2022/2023 Santa Fe?
Great review. You always make everything look so easy. OK, almost always. Big brightness difference. See you next time.
Thanks Dad. We appreciate you watching and sharing the kind words. We wish they were all this easy. LOL.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I wasn't able to completely detach the housing, so I just held it and swapped out the bulbs.
Hi Tawana. Thank you so much for watching and sharing the kind words. We really appreciate it. Glad that it was helpful for you, and congratulations on doing the upgrade yourself. We know how good that feels. Stay safe out there!
Terrific video. I just ordered and got my 15% discount! I'm also off to look at Lasfit mats. I've always bought weathertech but they are getting very expensive. Glad I watched your other video!
Hi John, Thank you very much for watching and sharing the kind words. Really glad to hear that we're a part of your journey with Santa Fe upgrades. We love our Lasfit liners and we'll be replacing the Husky Liners in our 4Runner soon with them. If you choose to go that route, be sure to use our code to save yourself 15% as well. We certainly appreciate the support! Stay safe out there.
Great video as always!
Hi Dan. Thank you very much for watching and sharing the kind words. We appreciate you!!
Perfect, thank you!
Thank you very much for watching and sharing the kind words. We really appreciate it!!
new subscriber. I love your guys' Channel
Hi Daniel. Thank you so much for watching our episodes, sharing the kind words and subscribing. We greatly appreciate all of the support. Tell us about your Santa Fe and what you love about it. Stay safe out there.
Just got a 2023 Hybrid Limited and this is one of the first things I did. Also did the license plate, cargo and vanity lights, don't get why they skimped out on these when everything else on the vehicle is so high end. Thanks for the video, was very helpful.
Hi Darren. Thank you for watching and sharing the kind words. We appreciate it. Congrats on your 2023. That's awesome. We have an upcoming episode on replacing the interior bulbs as well. You're right, we don't understand why they went cheap in areas that are equally important to owners on the interior. Stay safe out there!
LED is the way to go. I'm surprised they didn't do that from the factory. Thanks for the video!
Right?! We were talking about what other LEDs we needed to convert and then noticed there are a few bulbs in the Santa Fe that are normal incandescent. I struggle with why they would do that when the LED lights were a huge selling point for the Calligraphy trim level from the dealer. We'll get around to replacing the other old bulbs soon enough. Thanks for watching!!
Hi, thanks for the video
You make it look so easy. I am just wondering if you can use this
bulb for the tail light (outer) part ??
Thanks
Hi Alex, thanks for watching and asking! We would recommend that you refer to auxito.com to determine if this same bulb might be used for the brake/turn signal location. You can use our code WRENCHERS to save some money regardless of the bulbs that you buy. Our Santa Fe came from factory with LED tail lights, so we absolutely would defer to a company with more expertise. Hope this helps; take care and stay safe!
I ordered my lasfit leds. The only ones I didn’t buy are the tag lights and the rear turn signals. Did you replace the blinker bulbs in your 22? I wasn’t sure what the bulbs number was. I enjoy your videos keep it up. Thanks
Hi Hot Rod! Thanks for watching and asking. Our Santa Fe came with LED turn signals from factory, and they are actually not housed in these side/rear lenses. Additionally, we didn't replace the tag light as our local laws only require that they operate and render the plate visible. If you'd like some more information about possibly ordering LED replacements for those, feel free to send us an email and we'll see what we can find out with our friends at Auxito. Hope this helps; take care and stay safe!
Great video. It would've been nice if you'd cover the other interior lighting sections of the Santa fe requiring LED replacements as well (such as the license plate and cargo lights who are all yellow OEM halogen bulbs...yuck). A big thanks for posting this, anyways.
Hi Krain85. Thanks for watching, sharing the kind words and feedback. We felt that it was best to keep them separate since we were planning a different episode on upgrading those, which will be coming soon thanks to our sponsor LasFit. We agree the yellow halogen is ugly so we're excited to get rid of them as well. We hope you stick around to watch it. Stay safe out there!
Nice video, can you make one video about the horn?, please
Hi. Thank you for watching and sharing the kind words. We appreciate it. What in particular about the horn are you looking for a video of?
Love this video - did you guys change the interior bulbs? Struggling to get access to the map lights to get the cover off.
Thank you Shappir. Really appreciate you watching and sharing the kind words. We're actually making one now. Had some troubles getting the right size cargo bulbs but hoping to have that solved and video out in the next week. Stay safe out there.
Nice, I'd like to do that on ours along with the cargo lights. We put on Falken Wildpeak A/T Trails on our Limited last week.
Hi D M. Thank you very much for watching and sharing. We appreciate that. A/T tires? You plan on taking off on some trails? How does it ride compared to the streets?
I put these on for a few reasons. First, the limited doesn't come with a spare, so I wanted a more "durable" tire than the OE ones. Second, they are 3 peak winter rated, we do get a good amount of snow in CO. Lastly, we don't offroad but drive a lot of forest service roads for camping. The ride is slightly stiffer and louder, but that was to be expected. The street tires were softer, more quiet and not snow rated. Cheers
Thanks for this and your other videos about the santa fe. I just picked up a 2023 limited today. Ordered the lasfit mats before seeing your video (I normally get weathertech, and would have probably got them for this vehicle too but I had a 2021 rav4 hybrid before this and it came with the all weather mats from toyota and I think they were better than weathertechs-- was really hoping that hyundai would have similar ones but I can't find them and came across the lasfits and figured I'd give them a try). I'm hoping to switch out all incandescent bulbs to led- just trying to figure out what all I need. Can't seem to find any sites that list what each bulb is for the 2023's :(
Hi wantsanewvehicle. Thanks for watching and sharing. We greatly appreciate it. Congratulations on your new Santa Fe and on your new floor liners. We'll be doing an episode soon regarding changing out the cargo and vanity bulbs to LED. That will complete all of our LED upgrades. We hope you tune in for it. Stay safe out there!
Hello I’m just curious. You used auxito for the reverse lights and lasfit for the interior. Is there any special reason for that? I have a 2023 sel and I’m going to replace all the non led bulbs in it over time. Thanks for the videos it will help when I do it. Thanks Brian
Hi Hotrod. Thanks for watching and asking. We appreciate it. It just happened that way because Lasfit asked us to review their bulbs. We just so happen to have a longer relationship with Auxito as a channel sponsor. Both bulbs companies have been great so far. If you go with Auxito, be sure to use our code for a savings. Hope that helps. Stay safe out there with your '23.
Great easy to follow video. Is there a, way to change the rear turn signal lights to amber color? It's more noticeable. Not sure why they made it red when the front is amber.
Hi cdchannel, thank you for watching and the excellent question! I believe most manufacturers are repurposing or using red in the rear for the brake lights, while some older vehicles and non-USDM use amber for rear turn signals. With the rear signal being an LED strip inside the bumper cover, it would be possible to replace to amber only if that part was sold as such since the entire lense assembly is red. Hope this helps; take care and stay safe!
3:00. *USE A RAG* BEHIND THE TOOL to prevent paint damage.
Thanks for sharing. Yes, certainly a technique that we have used as well. The right tool will also result in no damage in most cases.
if you were to update the headlight bulbs to others with a higher lummen how would you do it? is it difficult with this new front-end desing ?
HI Jomelfy. Thank you for watching and asking. We appreciate it. Honestly, there isn't a reason to modify the headlight bulbs. The light output is very high (even on our dark country roads) and to try to increase the output would likely make it unsafe for oncoming drivers. It would be like driving with your highbeams on all the time. With that being said, we love the lights and will be keeping them stock. Stay safe out there.
Can you send a direct link to the bulbs? There's a few with the same 912 921 model. Thanks!
Hi there. Thanks for continuing to follow along with us. Here is the link to these bulbs: www.auxito.com/collections/921-led-bulb/products/921-led-bulb-back-up-reverse-light?rq=yr_2022~mk_Hyundai~md_Santa%20Fe~tm_~ml_Back%20Up. Hope that helps.
We bought a 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited in 2022, never had a Hyundai...are these very dependable vehicles? We have always been Honda people but wife liked the Santa Fe..
Hi Bobby, thank you for watching and asking! It's been our experience that every new vehicle regardless of make will go through various recalls and warranty items. The important aspect for us was to ensure that we really liked and trusted the dealership as much as the car we wanted to buy as they will be the ones handling (or fighting) any warranty work. We found that our 2022 Calligraphy hasn't had any major warranty work needed aside from an insulation tuck here and a realignment of the rear bumper cover (which we took care of ourselves in this video). There is a known issue with the transmission, which is covered under warranty should we ever experience it, which is related to the oil cooler. That said, we have had no mechanical issues whatsoever in the first 41,000 miles of ownership, and are looking forward to many more road trips! Hope this helps; take care and stay safe!
Great video. I don't see the links for the bulbs or the plastic tool. Thanks.
Hi Neil. Thank you for watching and sharing the kind words. We appreciate it. The links are in the description box below the video. Hope that helps. Cheers!
@@SpiritedWrenchers - Ah...I see them now. Thank you!
@@neilsar1 You're most welcome
I saw your video channel last night for the first time and I subscribed, I tried to use your 15% discount on Amazon for the Trim Removal Kit, but it would not accept it. I entered "Wrenchers" in the coupon area, but the message says it is not valid. Do you have any suggestions?
Hi Paul. Thank you so much for watching and subscribing. We greatly appreciate that. The 15% discount code is only valid on the Auxito website for the bulbs. The links for the Amazon items unfortunately don't have a discount. We just provided those affiliate links to show what we used and if purchase is made through them, we receive a small commission that goes back to helping make additional content on the channel. Hope this helps. Stay safe out there and good luck with your upgrade!
Thank you for your prompt reply, your answer did educate me on my questions.
My 2019 Santa Fe doesn’t have any other name badges on it but the name. Which of the LED bulb packages should I order?
@@paulshaar4187 Our pleasure. If you go to Auxito.com and choose LED bulbs followed by your year/make/model info, it will show which bulbs they recommend for the reverse lights. I'm not sure which trim you have (you can choose based on headlights) as that may affect which ones to get. On their website is where you can use our code for a discount also. Hope that helps.
Any tip on replacing the non-led bulb at the very back in the cargo area?
Thank you for watching and asking. We appreciate that. We're working on getting the bulbs for the rest of the interior/exterior so we hope to have a video on those soon. We hope you subscribe so you don't miss it.
I installed those SAME LED bulbs in my reverse lights on my Cadillac and it caused electrical problems throughout the car. The dealer traced the problems to the fact that I had replaced the standard OEM bulbs with LED ones, saying that it threw the electrical system "out of balance". They put OEM ones in and all of the problems were solved completely and never returned. I still have those LED bulbs and want to put them in my 2023 Santa Fe, but am concerned. Have you had, or heard of, any issues with replacing the OEM bulbs with LED's?
Hi Kevin. Thanks for watching and sharing. We greatly appreciate it. Thats crazy about your Cadillac. I've heard of similar stories happening and it required resistors to be installed in line with the bulbs but not always. We have had no issues at all with our 22 and these being installed and we've upgraded all that weren't from the factory. Hope that helps and congrats on your '23 purchase. We hope you have many safe miles in it.
How do you replace the headlight bulb for this car?
Hi Uwenasri, thank you for watching! Our deepest apologies for not replying to your comment sooner. Our 2022 Calligraphy came with LEDs from factory, so this was not at the top of the short list for upgrade for us. Between the weather, our travels, and take a quick break from the channel we have only just now had a moment to look under the hood for the stock headlight bulb locations! Underneath the hood, there are plastic covers that are sealed and can easily be twisted off for access to the headlight bulbs. On the left side (USA driver side), it is easier to access than the passenger side were the wiper fluid fill tube can obstruct the view. Since we did not need to upgrade these bulbs, we would recommend that you do full research into your bulb replacement through Auxito.com, where you can also use the code WRENCHERS for 10% off your order. Take care and stay safe!
@@SpiritedWrenchers I’m aware of the factory led lights. I have a 21 Santa Fe limited and the led lights aren’t too bright.. made an attempt personally to check if it could be changed without any craftsman and realized it was a whole led module block🤣🤣.. thought there was some trick to it without having to disable the headlights
can you show how to fix a headlights? thank you.
Hi Vadim. Thank you for watching. We appreciate it. What are you trying to fix on the headlights? Is there a problem with them?
@@SpiritedWrenchers hi , no there is no problems yet, just want to know how to fix it so if i have to do in some where on the middle of no where 😅 i hope you understand me 😁Thank you
I have the 2023 limited. For some reason Amazon says these reverse LEDs don't fit my vehicle..... Weird.. I think it's the same as a 2022..
Thank you for watching and sharing. We greatly appreciate it. I wouldn't follow Amazon all the time on their compatibility. We recommend going directly to the brands website and using their selector. If they don't have a 2023 to choose from, contact them directly. They may ask for a picture or bulb measurement to let you know if they have one that fits it. They are likely the same though but I'm not 100% positive on it. Hope that helps and congrats on your 2023. Stay safe out there!
Yes it’s the same as a 2022. It’s a carryover year. I have a 2022 limited and there’s nothing different on the 2023 model. Amazon just probably doesn’t have the official specs put in yet for the 2023 model year.
@@stefanb.5154 Nice. Glad to hear it and thanks for sharing!
I have the same situation with a 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Luxury trim. The rear turn signals and backup lights were not LEDs.. while everything in the front is LED. Why? LOL I ordered the same brand lights as mentioned in this video. Also changed the cargo bulb and vanity mirror lights to LEDs.. while everything else in the car is LED. Why? Anyways.. get LEDs..
Hi K H, thanks for watching and commenting. Sorry for our delayed response, but we feel every bit of this! It appears Hyundai didn't have a lot of rhyme or reason to why not all the bulbs were upgraded to LED while others are just left behind in the dust. We have a few more LED conversions to make with interior bulbs, so stay tuned!
what about Turn signal and Brake light bulb do you plan to do them LED too ?
Hi Viny do Pham. Thank you for watching and asking. The turn signal and brake lights are already LED so we won't be messing with those.
@@SpiritedWrenchers mine are not LED so that I’m asking something weird some LED some not on 2023 , and I think 2top trims Limited and Calligraphy will have LED the rest none
@@vinydopham7864 Oh, I totally understand now. Ours is the Calligraphy so the rest are LED for us. Auxito & Lasfit should have the bulbs you need and you could use our discount code for savings. Those bulbs should be in the same housing as well.
1:27 *Video starts here. **_Everything else is advertising._*
Thanks for watching and sharing. We do appreciate it. I believe your timing is a little off as we share the products themselves prior to your 1:27 time stamp. That's pretty important to many viewers. Some also don't know that all of the lights on this trim aren't LED so we share that and of course our Sponsor for the episode. All things we feel are important to share in the true and sincere goal of educating and helping. Stay safe out there!
there is no difference
Thanks for watching Arcadius. We got a good laugh from your comment. There is a massive difference but we appreciate you sharing your opinion.
