I bought some new bulbs for the headlights and tried to install them today. I couldn't get the bulb to come out. The manual doesn't really show how to get it out. I know how to take the wire out and that;s about it. How to take the headlight out.
View 1 RepliesMy car is fully stock, with all options available to me (cold weather package not available here). The low-beam triple-LED headlights are aimed way too low compared to all my previous cars, and where they should be. BUT high-beam is aimed properly. So if I adjust the low-beams up, my high-beams might end up lighting up the trees, not the road.
If adjust the headlights up on a fully stock car (not lowered at the front)? Are the high beams still lighting up the road fine? And if you can be specific as the number of turns on the screwdriver, it'd be good too to have an initial adjustment reference.
The low beams on my 2010 Sonata seem dim compared to my other vehicles. I do not want to install HID lamps but would like a recommendation for a brighter lamp.
View 8 RepliesLast week I smelled something burning when I arrived home. I looked around the car and did not see any smoke. I noticed the other night that I had no headlights (low or hi beam) The fog light work fine. No fuses are out.
View 2 RepliesI've been noticing this in the past week, when I'm driving about at around 5pm, the headlight would turn on if I leave the stalk on AUTO. Except it's BRIGHT daylight! Sure it's the beginning of sunset and the sun was to my side, but the amount of light is still extremely high. I see no visible difference between it and driving at noon in terms of the amount of light on the road.
Turning the lights off and on again doesn't work...The low beam does not come on when driving in the morning around 8 or noon, only in the afternoon. Even if the sunlight was shining right on the dashboard, the low beam would still be on in the afternoon.
Makes me wonder if this is a sensor calibration issue( I have nothing covering the sensor) or if it's like this by design. Making the headlight turning on extremely early so that Hyundai doesn't get sued by someone because the light "came on too late" and caused an accident. This is extremely annoying as it uses extra power to run the lights unnecessarily, and not to mention shortening the life of the bulbs. My current work around is just turning on the parking lights...sure the tail are still going to be illuminated, but better than the low beam at least.
I do want to keep the DRL on, but there is no "DRL on" option on the stalk, only "DRL off" to shut everything off. If I want DRL, but not automatic headlight, there is no way to do it, except turning on the parking lights instead.
I don't recall this issue on other brand vehicles I have owned...and about 95% of the vehicle I see coming the other way, under the same lighting condition, is running on DRL only(Assuming they have Auto headlights). What's the trigger condition for the low beam for hyundai..?
Just wondering if its possible to have 2015 Sonata SE Headlights to turn Off when turn signal on and turn On when turn signal is Off...
View 6 RepliesAnd probably the worst headlights ive had for intensity out of all cars Ive owned. I took it to the dealer complaining of how dim they are. They adjusted the aim angle up and made them actually worse. Now my high beams just shoot up into the sky
I asked about disabling the "extended Bulb life" setting and they claim not to know anything about it. I am looking at getting aftermarket HIDs and correct angle adjustment to resolve this issue. I just cant believe how bad the OEM headlights are. These headlamps pass NHTSA regulations.?
Other then the Headlamp Complaint, A great family car sofar!
I bought my 2010 Passat 2.0T wagon a couple of months ago. Didn't drive it at dark time so much time, but what I noticed, it looks like headlights don't have asymmetrical beam there.
View 6 RepliesI own a 2001 Accent 1.6L. The other day both low beam headlights went out. The brights work and so do the parking lights when turned on. I changed the bulbs and still the low beams don't work but the highs and parking lamps do. I looked on the hood for a relay but could find one in the fuse box. I checked the fuses and they appear okay. What could cause the problem? I'm hoping it is not the stalk. Still a relay or switch under the dash?
View 7 RepliesI have a 2012 Prius 4. All of a sudden, the head lights went very dim. We have replaced the bulbs and that did not work. I can only drive at night with brights on (not very popular). Any quick fixes, before i take it to the dealership?
View 6 RepliesBoth low beam headlights went out at the same time on my 2012 ES 350, What can I check for before I go to the dealer?
View 1 RepliesChanged Alternator on my 07 Camry SE V6. Now both low beam headlights dont work. I changed bulbs,and fuses. Still nothing what could the problem be??
View 1 RepliesAll of a sudden my low beam headlights will not come on; (but the high beams come on using the turn signal switch / high beams position).
I read the Owner's Handbook and there is no Fuse, but it says there is a circuit breaker built-in the headlights switch itself, but that if I wait enough, the breaker will reset itself sooner or later.
It happened for the last two nights and all of a sudden they are working again, but I think I should replace the breaker?? Or should I replace the complete switch?
I have a 2005 Volvo S60
Do all HID low beam headlights have Xenon in them? Can you buy an HID bulb with no Xenon? Does it matter for my car? I read in some places HID and Xenon go together then I read elsewhere you can buy HID bulbs with no Xenon?
2012 Prius mdl 2 I notice my left low beam had gone out I went to get a replacement bulb The first one seemed dim, so I got a brighter one that wasn't much better I figure I would go to the dealer and get one of theirs I put it in and brighter, but it cast no real beam I pointed the car at a flat wall, and the right side is normal, the left side is not correct and I noticed there is a small beam pointed to the left The small bit of light that does go forward does cast a faint rectangular image on the wall and it does match where it should line up similar to the right side I cant think what has caused the beam to be all messed up No damage or stuff like that.
View 5 RepliesI purchased a 2010 about a year ago and have replaced the low beams twice. Any issues with them or any other possible cause?
View 19 RepliesI am trying to figure out how to adjust my low beam headlights. i just need to move them up a little bit.
View 42 RepliesI have a 2008 Hyundai Santa fe and have recently had both low beam headlights go out. The running lights and high beams still both work. I read both bulbs as sat 0.5ohm(left) and 0.5ohm(right). Connections were right. I also read fuses in engine compartment HLP LO for both RH and LH. Still I swapped them both with the HHP HI and both worked for high beams but no change for low,on,either side. My next idea is the switch but I am not sure how to test it.
View 5 RepliesI have a 2008 Prius 2 that has suddenly developed a problem with the headlights. The lights will function on high but will not work on low. Are they hid? I have checked the fuses and relay. Really at a loss here. Not really wanting to spend a fortune at the dealership.
View 3 RepliesHow do you adjust the low beam headlights for a 06 Passat? I have found the vertical adjustment now I'm trying to find the horizontal adjustment. For some reason the lights are aimed way out to either the left or the right. Has been like this since I bought the car. Had the car a month, only 42,000 and it's already been in the shop 3 times. Everything from ignition coil, to steering column and comfort control module.
View 5 RepliesHave had my 2010 just under 2 years. Have about 61k on it.
A couple of months ago, the passenger side low beam lamp went out. When I tapped it, the tiny bulb on top of it went back on, but not the low beam lamp. High beams were fine.
Took it to the dealer asking them to check for a short. They said there was none, it was just the bulb.
Tonight, same thing except on the driver side. Tapped it and the small bulb went on, but not the regular one.
I am finding it odd that both bulbs would burn out like that. One, maybe, but two so soon...?
I had my '03 for seven years and 112k and never had an issue with the lights. Very few issues overall with that.
