#11 of 19 Re: Low Beam Headlamp...2008 Elantra [cajim] by jmet1 Aug 16, 2008 (12:27 pm)

#12 of 19 One headlight dimmer than the other by danjan1 Aug 30, 2008 (9:25 am)
I have a bizzare situation in my 2003 Elantra. The driver side headlight (low beam) is noticeably weaker then the one on the passenger side. I replaced the bulb on the driver side to no effect. I switched them and the driver-side light is always weaker. I never heard of that problem. Some people reported both lights going brighter or dimmer but I never heard of one light being weaker! Do you have any advice on how to deal with this?   Dan Replies to this message: backy (Aug 30, 2008 9:40 am) cajim (Aug 30, 2008 12:20 pm) danjan1 (Aug 30, 2008 4:04 pm)

Replying to: danjan1 (Aug 30, 2008 9:25 am) To me that indicates that the driver's side headlight is mis-aimed.

Replying to: danjan1 (Aug 30, 2008 9:25 am) Dan, You have a voltage leak somewhere in the wiring system. It's too difficult for the "shade tree machinic" to track...better see your local Auto Electric person...they can track down the problem and fix it for you. Probibly not the answer you looking for, but true. Jim

Replying to: danjan1 (Aug 30, 2008 9:25 am) Thank you all. Luckily for me it was a misalignment. I upped the driver-side light and things are looking OK now. Thanks again.   Dan

i own an elantra gls (08) and an 09 touring.   has anyone been able to locate upgraded headlight bulbs h11bw yet?   other than oe from the dealer, nobody seems to have them. the i30 website indicates that overseas elantras get h7 low beams instead.   why did hyundai switch the bulbs?
#17 of 19 Re: how to remove driver's side headlight [rural43017] by johnray Sep 28, 2009 (7:54 am)
Replying to: rural43017 (Jun 04, 2007 6:53 am) Is there some kind of known problem with the Hyundai Elantra's low beam bulbs/mechanism? I bought a new 2003 Hyundai Elantra GT and the only problem I have ever had with it seems to be the way it eats headlight bulbs! I swear, over the last six years, I have replaced both the driver and passenger side bulbs at least 4 times each! It would not be nearly as big a deal if the darn things were no so hard to get to. There is either the battery right in the way on the driver side and a reservoir in the way on the passenger side, requiring a person to take the entire headlight assembly out to adequately reach the fragile clamp (the molded plastic part of the headlight assembly that holds the clamp/pin in place broke off when I tried it the first time and I had to buy a whole new headlight just because of that) that holds the constantly failing bulbs in place. I have had other cars for 15 years that NEVER needed a new bulb and this one seems to use one up every 24 months. Replies to this message: backy (Sep 28, 2009 10:32 am)

Replying to: johnray (Sep 28, 2009 7:54 am) That's strange. I've had to replace each headlamp on my 2004 GT once in 5-1/2 years. Are you sure you are not touching the bulbs with your uncovered fingers when installing them? Halogen bulbs are very touchy about being smudged--the smudges can cause a weak spot on the bulb and lead to early failure.   BTW, both of the bulb replacements on my GT were done for free by the dealer, under the bumper-to-bumper warranty. They told me the headlamp bulbs are covered, but other bulbs e.g. turn signals are not.
#19 of 19 '04 elantra headlight / marker light by dgrigeye Oct 10, 2009 (9:09 am)
The left headlight (low beam )and the left marker light both went out on my '04 elantra. the bulbs & fuses are okay. Is there a comon wire, or junction specific to these only that may have an issue? blinkers, high beam, & rear end lights are all okay
