LIGHT BULBS
Use only the bulbs of the specified
wattage.
✽NOTICE
After heavy, driving rain or washing,
headlight and taillight lenses could
appear frosty. This condition is caused by
the temperature difference between the
lamp inside and outside. This is similar
to the condensation on your windows
inside your vehicle during the rain and
doesn’t indicate a problem with your
vehicle. If the water leaks into the lamp
bulb circuitry, have the vehicle checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.WARNING - Working on
the lights
Prior to working on the light, firmly
apply the parking brake, ensure
that the ignition switch is turned to
the LOCK position and turn off the
lights to avoid sudden movement
of the vehicle and burning your fin-
gers or receiving an electric shock.
CAUTION
Be sure to replace the burned-out
bulb with one of the same wattage
rating. Otherwise, it may cause
damage to the fuse or electric
wiring system.
CAUTION
• If you don’t have necessary tools,
the correct bulbs and the expert-
ise, consult an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer. In many cases, it
is difficult to replace vehicle light
bulbs because other parts of the
vehicle must be removed before
you can get to the bulb. This is
especially true if you have to
remove the headlight assembly to
get to the bulb(s). Removing/
installing the headlight assembly
can result in damage to the vehi-
cle.
• Do not install additional bulb or
LED. If you install that, the lamp
may not be operated properly and
fuse box or electric wiring system
may have problem.

✽NOTICE - Bi-Function
Projection Headlamp
This headlamp is bi-function type that
switches the low beam to high or the
high beam to low to use solenoid system.
So, the moving sound may be heard
when the headlamp switches the low
beam to high or the high beam to low
and these it does not indicate malfunc-
tion of the headlamp.

vehicle
The low beam light distribution is asym-
metric. If you go abroad to a country with
opposite traffic direction, this asymmetric
part will dazzle oncoming car driver. To
prevent dazzle, ECE regulation demand
several technical solutions (ex. automatic
change system, adhesive tape, down
aiming). These headlamps are designed
to be masked with adhesive tape accord-
ing to below picture.❈Traffic Change

If you go abroad to a country with oppo-

not to dazzle opposite drivers. So, you
need not change your headlamps in a
country with opposite traffic direction.
