Default Fog/Driving Light Driver Side Out....How to Replace?

The drivers side Fog/Driving light is out, passenger side is working fine.

The instructions are a little Vague to me and I need some help.

It says
Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.


2.
Remove the front side cover screw.


3.
Remove the front fog lamp assembly (A) after loosening screws (4EA).

My question is “Remove the front side cover screw” what does that mean? I don’t see a screw when looking at the light from the front of the car. Do I need to get under the car and is that were the screw is?

Also from the diagram, it looks like you can remove the bulb without removing the four screws?

Thanks for any help!

You should be able to reach it from under the front bumper.

Thanks....any suggestions? Do I need to remove the screws or does the bulb twist out?

Hopefully it will say the bulb type on the bulb for replacement...

Guess that's why the manual says

Front Fog Light (If Installed)
NOTE:
It is recommended that the front fog light
bulb be replaced by an authorized
Hyundai dealer.

YOu may have to unbolt some plastic panels. One of the easiest is to turn the front wheels and then remove some of the bolts holding the inner wheel well in place. Then pull it back to be able to get your hand and arm in there to reach the bulb.
