Replacement instructions:
1. Allow the bulb to cool. Wear eye protection.
2. Always grasp the bulb by its plastic base,
avoid touching the glass.
G270A02Y
3. Disconnect the power cord from the bulb
base in the back of the headlight.
4. Push the bulb spring for removing the headlight
bulb.
5. Remove the protective cap from the replacement
bulb and install the new bulb by
matching the plastic base with the headlight
hole. Retighten the bulb spring and reconnect
the power cord.
6. Use the protective cap and carton to dispose
of the old bulb.
7. Check for proper headlight aim.

yes that's what I found also, however on the drivers side you cannot see the spring clip retainer, and no 4 on the list is not telling you if there is one hooked place for theretainer or two hooked places for the retainer. you cant see in there so its like groping in the dark and no one seems to know about this particular spring clip-here is a crudely drawn picture of it to give someone an idea of what Im searching for.

The bulb spring only hooks in at one location not two. I'm not sure what the problem is. You just push it down and move it sideways. The bulb spring is basically a wire that locates in a notch to lock it in place.

Thanks rallyman you have just gave me a logical answer one hook ,the problem I was encountered with was I could not see inside the area facing outward towards the fender well so I didnt really know if I hooked only one side of the spring on yet it felt like there was another hook in there with my finger. and some of the pictures I have viewd for a spring retainer on the H7 bulb were not very clear and some cars do have 2 hooks but now I know thanks to you there is only one hook on a 2001 Hyundai sonata. Thanks. again I will insert a picture of a 2 hooked set up but on another type car just for viewers future references.
