#60 of 78 Headlights adj by ml0126 Jun 11, 2008 (8:39 pm)
After a 2nd trip, argueing with the techs, showing them this thread, I give up. After my argument, they tried to adj the driver side but made the statement the passenger side was not adjustable. I finally left mad and the right side highs light up the tree tops and now the left side low is so low you can't see 20 feet in front of you...Decided to do it myself. There must be 2 versions of lamp assy beccause unlike post #58, no matter what screw you adj, it turns both adj screws. The only way I see to adj is like I previously read, you need to remove a gear from the transmission connecting the the upper and lower or just cut the rod that runs between them, I'm just wondering if you break this connection, if this will allow the adjustments to change on there own after getting adj correctly because of the lack of pressure from this transmission device connecting them together????

Replying to: ml0126 (Jun 11, 2008 8:39 pm) My dealer removed the plastic housing that connects the two pairs of beams almost a year ago and I've had no problems at all. My high beams work extremely well and are focused on the road -- not the trees.   I'm just waiting for Sylvannia Silver Star H11 bulbs to be released this fall to replace the low beams. The manual and everything online says they're H7s, but they are NOT (at least on the 2007). Just in case, it wouldn't help for Veracruz owners to email them (Customer.Servicesylvania.com) asking about their release.   Steve My CarSpace Replies to this message: jmaulsby (Jun 12, 2008 11:29 am) xquuzme (Jun 22, 2008 5:12 am)

Replying to: konacq (Jun 09, 2008 8:46 pm) What tool did you use to make the high/low beam up/down adjustment from the top?   I believe the same tool will adjust the low beam up/down without going through the center of the white nylon piece. I noticed that there is a small black funnel on each side that probably guides the tool down to the "gears" that move the low beam up or down, but going through the white nylon piece easily works on the driver side. Using the tool through the funnel on the passenger side will be easier than getting the screwdriver into the white nylon piece. What do you think?

Replying to: xquuzme (Jun 12, 2008 4:47 am) What is the expected difference between H11 and H7 or whatever we have on our 2007 model? Replies to this message: xquuzme (Jun 22, 2008 5:12 am)

Replying to: ml0126 (Jun 11, 2008 8:39 pm) When you say "no matter what screw you adj. it turns both screws." Are you talking about adjusting the screw inside the white nylon piece? Or one of the screws on the top (L/R, U/D)?   Did the Hyundai mechanic have a special tool to adjust the L/R, U/D screws on the top?
#65 of 78 HEADLIGHTS ADJ by ml0126 Jun 12, 2008 (5:31 pm)
From the top I used a #2 philips. When you turn using the funnel hole at the top. if you watch the 2 white scews holes behind the light assy, when you turn it, both white screws are turning. If you adjthe low beam using white adj hole, the high beam adj screw turns also. If you use the high beam white adj screw, it will also turn the low beam. This is because if the little transmission unit mounted on the back of the housing mechanically connects both low and high assy. You have to remove the trasnmission or break the connecting rod at the bottom to adj each beam independently. A phillips works fine or a large allen wrench.

Replying to: konacq (Jun 09, 2008 8:46 pm) I am the one who posted this message, and I am here to eat humble pie. I was mistaken - the only way to aim the high and low beams separately is to remove the housing that physically connects the low and high beam headlight adjustments together. It is what I did to my Veracruz, Once the housing is removed, you can adjust the high and low beams separately.

Replying to: jmaulsby (Jun 12, 2008 11:29 am) Sorry I'm leaving town for a bit and don't have time to pull up the specs for you, but others on this post and elsewhere have talked about the merits of upgrading your headlights. From what I've read, the difference is like "night and day". While the headlights on the Veracruz are certainly bright, any improvement is a safety advantage from my view.
#68 of 78 100W High Beams ? by konacq Jun 22, 2008 (5:20 am)
Has anybody replaced the 55W high beam lamp with a 100W lamp? I am interested in doing this, but I don't want to fry anything.   Konacq
