| I just bought a Hyundai Veracruz and the headlights were pointing too high and oncoming traffic didn't like them too much. I lowered them this evening and a couple screw turns( apx. 1 inch lower if you were 3 ft from a wall) now they are where they should be and I can see up the road with out blinding traffic. I did notice the Highbeam does move with the low beam, but for me in the hills of Pennsylvania, they are perfect I can say they saved my bumper last night from a Deer crossing the road. I will be looking into Silverstars for this new ride soon. I will say that I had silverstars in my past 2 cars and they really help at night. so if you feel your lights are too low try a set of those to give you the extra light you need I put them in my tacoma and wow what a difference. | |

Replying to: amastro1 (Dec 10, 2007 8:47 am) Though every time i have specifically asked the dealer not to touch the low beam or the high beam they do not seem to understand. Yesterday I just got back from the dealer and my low beam is now back right in front of my front bumper and I had to drive back home after a party with the fog lamp. And I am fed up gong back to dealership for this purpose. Manual do not talk about the adjustment at all which is a shame. I am glad that I looked at this posting which is useful and will try to do it myself as I have exhausted my options. Hope Hyundai will change the factory setting as almost everyone seem to have this problem (if they are critical enough - i have seen many folks going on high beam without ever knowing that they are blinding the oncoming traffic - not a good sign). |

| Well we met with the regional representative of HyundaiUSA at a local Atlantic City Hyundai Dealership about the headlight issue. He drives a Veracruz and has seen the distinct horiziontal line of light and dark in the field of vision. He says Hyundai is aware of this and the high beams being too high (lighting up the trees instead of the road) and the effect the low beams have with oncoming traffic. He said Hyundai has no intention of making any adjustments or issuing service bulletins on it. Hyundai's position is that the high intensity lights work differently from regular headlights and customers will just have to get use to it. Any changes that anyone makes to the way the lights function voids the warranty (ie: separating the high and low beams so they adjust individually. You can change the bulbs to after market but that's it. THEY WILL NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE ANY FURTHER. Imagine that. Same answer I received about the online manual. "It doesnt work, that's the way it's suppose to work, get use to it". | |

Replying to: ehtpiney (Jan 15, 2008 11:02 am) Your meeting description made the regional guy seem like a jerk.  Did you call Hyundai's 800 line and complain that the headlights don't aim correctly? If that didn't work, snail mail a letter to Hyundai's Service VP in Fountain Valley. My mother used to answer those sent to Savon Drug Stores' Sales VP, and if they were well written and full of details they got results. There's something about a boss's boss's boss asking someone to explain them self that straightens out stupid situations quickly.
