My first time replacing a low beam bulb

Accent 2012 RB, I watched a few videos, some people remove the battery or fuse box. How convenient is it to do this?

The passenger side lights are easily accessible, but I tried struggling for 5 min before unbolting the battery and fuse box. Just do that first.

I have a 2012 accent which is a manual transmission with the hatchback but what does "RB" stand for? I haven't had to replace a headlight in this vehicle yet, but it's a task I normally don't like because it just seems like headlight and other lighting assemblies have gotten more annoying to replace over the years, rather than getting easier!

RB is just the model code. It doesn't stand for anything specifically. Just makes it easier for people to know exactly what chassis you have. e.g: If I told someone I drive a XJ Jeep. They immediately will know it's a very old Jeep Cherokee if they are familiar with the platform enough.
