Get Maintenance -> Light bulbs Guide for Hyundai Santa Fe SUV 2023

LIGHT BULBS

Consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer

to replace most vehicle light bulbs. It is

difficult to replace vehicle light bulbs

because other parts of the vehicle must

be removed before you can get to the

bulb. This is especially true for removing

the headlight assembly to get to the

bulb(s).

Information - Headlight

desiccant (if equipped)

This vehicle is equipped with desiccant to

reduce fogging inside the headlight due

to moisture. The desiccant is consumable

and its performance may change based on

the used period or environment. If fogging

inside the headlight due to moisture

continues for a long time, consult an

authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Removing/installing the headlight

assembly can result in damage to the

vehicle.

WARNING

Information

The headlight and tail lamp lenses could

appear frosty if the vehicle is washed after

driving or the vehicle is driven at night in

wet weather. This condition is caused by

temperature difference between the lamp

inside and outside and, it does not indicate

a problem with your vehicle. When

moisture condenses in the lamp, it will be

removed after driving with the headlight

on. The removable level may differ

depending on lamp size, lamp position

and environmental condition. However, if

moisture is not removed, have your vehicle

be inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer.

śꢀ Prior to working on a light, depress

the foot brake, shift to P (Park), apply

the parking brake, press the Engine

Start/Stop button to the OFF position

and take the key with you when

leaving the vehicle to avoid sudden

movement of the vehicle and to

prevent possible electric shock.

śꢀ Be aware the bulbs may be hot and

may burn your fingers.

NOTICE

Be sure to replace the burned-out bulb

with one of the same wattage rating.

Otherwise, it may cause damage to the

fuse or electrical wiring system.

NOTICE

To prevent damage, do not clean the

headlight lens with chemical solvents

or strong detergents.

Traffic Change (For Europe)

1. Engage the parking brake and

disconnect the negative battery cable.

The low beam light distribution is

asymmetric. If you go abroad to a country

with opposite traffic direction, this

asymmetric part will dazzle oncoming car

driver. To prevent dazzle, ECE regulation

demand several technical solutions (ex.

automatic change system, adhesive

sheet, down aiming). This headlights are

designed not to dazzle opposite drivers. So,

you need not change your headlights in a

country with opposite traffic direction.
