LLIIGGHHTT BBUULLBBSS
Consult an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer to replace most vehicle light
bulbs. 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 for removing the headlamp
assembly to get to the bulb(s).
Removing/installing the headlamp
assembly can result in damage to
the vehicle.
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.
NOTICE
If you don’t have the necessary
tools, the correct bulbs and the
expertise, consult an autho-
rised 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
headlamp assembly to get to
the bulb(s).
Removing/installing the head-
lamp assembly can result in
damage to the vehicle.
CAUTION
Prior to working on a light, firm-
ly apply the parking brake,
ensure that the ignition switch
is in the LOCK/OFF position
and turn off the lights to avoid
sudden movement of the vehi-
cle and burning your fingers or
receiving an electric shock.

Information
After heavy rain, or washing, head-
lamp and tail lamp 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
when raining and doesn’t indicate a
problem with your vehicle. If the
water leaks into the lamp bulb circuit-
ry, we recommend that the system be
checked by an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.

•Handle halogen bulbs with
care. Halogen bulbs contain
pressurised gas that will pro-
duce flying pieces of glass
that could cause injuries if
broken.
•Wear eye protection when
changing a bulb. Allow the
bulb to cool down before han-
dling it.

HID Headlight low beam
(if equipped)
Do not attempt to replace or
inspect the low beam (XENON
bulb) due to electric shock dan-
ger. If the low beam (XENON
bulb) is not working, we recom-
mend that the system be
checked by an authorised
HYUNDAI dealer.

HID Headlamp (Type C Low)
If the HID lamp does not operate, we
recommend that the system be
checked by an authorised HYUNDAI
dealer.
Information
HID lamps have superior perform-
ance over halogen bulbs.
HID lamps are estimated by the man-
ufacturer 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 is
typical, will shorten HID lamp 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 immedi-
ately relight when the headlight
switch is cycled it is likely the HID
lamp needs to be replaced. HID light-
ing components are more complex
than conventional halogen bulbs thus
have higher replacement cost.
Turn signal lamp
1. Open the bonnet.
2. Disconnect the negative battery
cable.
3.Remove the socket from the
assembly by turning the socket
anticlockwise until the tabs on the
socket align with the slots on the
assembly.
4.Remove the bulb from the socket
by pressing it in and rotating it anti-
clockwise until the tabs on the bulb
align with the slots in the socket.
Pull the bulb out of the socket.
