The inside of the headlight assembly has fogged up causing the brightness of the lamp to diminish to the point where I feel it is dangerous and I need to replace the entire assembly. I have spoken with hyundai at the corporate level and they basically said that there is no way to clean the inside of the assembly and I would have to replace them at my expense. This is a major safety issue. As with other elantra owners I have complaints about the headlights constantly needing replacement.

Headlights burn out excessively. Every 1-2 months, one burns out and alternates between left and right side.

Headlamp bulbs burn out every couple of months. I was using aftermarket bulbs which have no warranty. After I went through 4 bulbs. I purchased new bulbs from dealer and have not had an issue with them for over a year and a half and still working fine. I removed the assembly to make sure the bulbs were in correctly and secure and I made sure to use a tissue so not to have any oil from my hands get on the bulbs each time which could make bulbs burn out quicker.

Headlight bulbs on my 2002 hyundai elantra burn out every few months. Most recently had to be replaced in september 2006 and again in december 2006. When I contacted the dealer, gary rome hyundai, holyoke, ma, (413) 536-4328, I was told that they would charge $90/hour to look at the problem and could not guarantee that they would find it. They suggested that the bulbs were being installed improperly, and also offered to limit work to 1/2 hour.

My headlights keep burning out. The driver's side bulb is very difficult to change - not room for fingers to rotate bulb in and out. Replacement lights are expensive. Had never had this problem with any other car.
