Maintenance
✽NOTICE
HID lamps have superior perform-
ance vs. halogen bulbs. HID lamps
are estimated by the manufacturer
to last twice as long or longer than
halogen bulbs depending on their
frequency of use. They will probably
require replacement at some point
in the life of the vehicle. Cycling the
headlights on and off more than typ-
ical use will shorten HID lamps life.
HID lamps do not fail in the same
manner as halogen incandescent
lamps. If a headlight goes out after a
period of operation, but will imme-
diately relight when the headlight
switch is cycled, it is likely the HID
lamp needs to be replaced. HID
lighting components are more com-
plex than conventional halogen
bulbs, and so have higher replace-
ment cost.
✽NOTICE
We recommend that the headlight
aiming be adjusted after an accident
or after the headlight assembly is rein-
stalled, at an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.
1. Open the bonnet.
2. Disconnect the negative battery
cable.
3. Loosen the retaining bolts and
remove the headlight assembly
from the body of the vehicle. If you
can reach to the bulb without
removing the headlight assembly,
you don’t need do step 3.
4. Disconnect the power connec-
tor(s) from the back of the head-
light assembly.
