I have installed H11 Hoen 55W xenonmatch bulbs in the main beams of my GLS, and I quite like them.
Yes..... there are aftermarket bulbs out there if you search.

Just got my O8 limited AWD and the headlights definitely need adjustment. How did your adjustment work for u?

I had the dealer do it. I'm not really happy about the results. I ordered a set of high performance bulbs thanks to a post listed here. I'll update when I have installed them.

I've reached somewhat of a happy medium. After one major adjustment and a few minor tweaks they are OK. If you adjust the low beams where you can see good but not blind the oncoming driver, the high beams seem to point up into the lower branches of the trees. If you adjust the lights down for the high beams, you seem to over-run you visibility on low. Also, try making a tight right turn on a dark night, like into an unlit driveway. Can other VC owners tell me weather it seems completely dark? I can't even see if there is a curb because there is next to zero light thrown off to the right side.

just had my DRL's (daytime running lights, a requirement in Canada) installed and the lights were re-aimed, what a difference it made! I can see the road nice and clear and the highbeams work perfect now. bought the car in the US since our dollar is strong and money saved was worth it.

I have had the same problem with adjustment of the Veracruz headlights as others have had. When the low beams are adjusted properly, the high beams shine in the trees. I have also noted a distinct gap in coverage between the low and high beams. I have contacted Hyundai USA about the problem but do not have a proposed resolution from them yet.
What is the basis for saying the H7 bulbs do not work in the Veracruz? I've had two Hyundai dealer parts departments tell me H7's are the replacement bulbs for both the low and high beams.

Well take out the low beam bulb and look at it. On mine it was a H11. the high beams were H7's

Update on those heaadlight adjustments. I just bought an '08 Vreacruz and it looks like they've changed the position of the upper/lower adjustment screw. When looking at the top of the headlight adjustment assembly, look for the funnel shaped housing. You'll be looking directly down at it. Place a long phillips head screw driver inthe hole and proceed...clockwise for raising , counter clockwise for lowering the beam.

???? must be different lamp housing....I just checked mine and their is nothing but a silver shaft at the bottom of the funnel. (Driver side) I have an 08 and the adj on mine is if you look at where the bottom of the funnel is and look a little further down and on the back if the housing, their is a slotted screw that can be turned with a stubby philips. Clockwise lowered the light...... Passenger side....same thing but because of the fuse box, I can not get my hand down there to adj????????????????????

My '07 has the funnel shaped housing which makes the adjustment very easy.
My dealer called me a week or so ago to tell me he had a recall for the headlight adjustment. He said my VIN was not covered but he invited me to bring mine in anyway. Since it was for an adjustment only and I have fine tuned the adjustment on mine and am happy with it, other than the problem with the stray high beams, I declined his invitation.
Does anyone know anything about a headlight recall of any kind?
