5 Signs Your Hyundai Needs New Headlights

Bulbs don’t stay in their prime forever, so you’ll eventually need new headlights from your Hyundai dealer. Your dealer will check on all of your exterior lights during routine service, and they’ll recommend you replace your headlights when they notice it’s necessary. There are also signs you should look out for by yourself to see if you’ll need to get your headlights replaced soon.

5 Signs Your Hyundai Needs New Headlights from Your Hyundai Dealer

1. Your Headlights Are Damaged

If there’s a chip or a scratch on one of your headlight units, then it may compromise your ability to see well with your headlights in the dark. If your headlights seem unaffected, then we still suggest coming in to get the headlight unit repaired or replaced. A little pressure can cause a small crack to become a big one, which can very easily cause visibility issues.

2. Your Headlights Aren’t Working

When your headlights stop working, you’ll typically assume both the bulbs have burned out. Often, this is the case, so all you’ll need to do is visit the dealer and have the headlights replaced. Sometimes, though, headlights that stop working with no warning indicate an electrical problem with your car. Be sure to tell the dealer that there were no signs that your headlights were going to burn out, as this may prompt them to check for an electrical problem.

3. Your Headlights Aren’t As Bright As Usual

If you notice your headlights aren’t as bright as they were last time, then it may indicate the bulbs are no longer in their prime. They can no longer illuminate the road as well as they used to, so you’ll need to get the headlights replaced. If your headlights seem very dim one day but are back to normal the next, then the issue may be electrical. There might be a fluctuating power supply delivered to the headlights, causing their brightness to fluctuate, too.

4. Your Headlights Have Begun Flickering

Headlights that flicker after they’re first turned on, or headlights that flicker on and off throughout use, should be replaced as soon as possible. They could stop working in the middle of use, or they might not switch them on the next time you need to use them. The bulbs flicker because they’re close to burning out.

5. Your Headlights Have Become Hazy or Yellow

When the light from your headlights is yellow or hazy, it’s usually because the headlight casing is dirty or sun damaged. Salt, dust, and other dirt can cause yellowing and haziness on the headlight unit. UV rays can also damage the headlight unit, causing haziness and yellowing. Your dealer can either clean or replace your headlights as needed.
