LIGHT BULBS
Use only 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 electrical
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 vehicle.
Do not install additional bulbs or
LED type bulbs. If you install that,
the lamp may not be operated
properly and fuse box or electrical
wiring system may have problem.

This headlamp is bi-function type that
switches the low beam to high or the
high beam to low using solenoid system.

lamp switches the low beam to high or
the high beam to low and it does not
indicate malfunction of the headlamp.

and avoid scratches and abra-
sions. If the bulbs are lit, avoid
contact with liquids. Never touch
the glass with bare hands.
Residual oil may cause the bulb
to overheat and burst when lit. A
bulb should be operated only
when installed in a headlight.
If a bulb becomes damaged or
cracked, replace it immediately
and carefully dispose of it.
Wear eye protection when chang-
ing a bulb. Allow the bulb to cool
down before handling it.

ized gas that will produce flying
