30REPLACEMENT OF LIGHT BULBS
If the vehicle has had front body repair and the headlight assembly has been replaced, an headlight aiming should be checked using an aiming screen asshown in the illustration. Turn on the headlight switch. (Low Beam Position)
1. Adjust headlights so that main axis of light is parallel to center line of the body and is aligned with point "P"shown in the illustration.
2. Dotted lines in the illustration show
the center of headlights. SPECIFICATIONS: "H" Horizontal center line of headlights from ground.Low Deck: 815 mm (32.1 in.) High Deck: 820 mm (32.3 in.) "W" Distance between each headlight center : 1,330 mm (52.4 in.) "L" Distance between the headlightsand the wall that the lights are tested against. : 3,000 mm (118 in.). G260A03A-AAT Before attempting to replace a light bulb, be sure the switch is turned to the "OFF" position. The next paragraph shows how to reachthe light bulbs so they may be changed. Be sure to replace the burned-out bulb with one of the same number and watt-age rating. See page 6-37 for the wattage descrip- tions.
CAUTION:
o Keep the lamps out of contact with petroleum products, such as oil,gasoline, etc.
o After heavy, driving rain or wash- ing, headlight and taillight lensescould appear frosty. This condi-tion is caused by the temperature difference between the lamp in- side and outside. This is similar tothe condensation on your win- dows inside your vehicle during the rain and doesn’t indicate aproblem with your vehicle. If the water leaks into the lamp bulb circuitry, have the vehicle checkedby an Authorized Hyundai Dealer.
