Combination day light running/turn signal - burn out and fail frequently. Have replaced 4 times in the last 18 months. Bulb socket shows signs of overheating - browning. Passenger side replacement difficult and had to take in for service. This is the same issue as reported in the following complaints.

Daytime running lights(drl) and front turn signal bulbs burn out very frequently due to the fact they are the same filament in the bulb even though they require a dual filament bulb. The wiring harnesses also show significant signs of overheating. This is a very widely-known issue in the online forums for this car and is a completely unsafe issue. The drivers side bulb is easy to replace, but the passenger side is not. I have replaced the drivers side 3 times and the passenger side 2 times in the last year. Between bulbs and mechanic fees for the passenger side, I have spent $200-$300 in the last year maintain this unsafe problem.

The left and right front turn signals lamps burnt out at the same time, I then replaced both bulbs and they blew out again. On the third attempt only the left front lamp worked properly where as the side was still inoperable. I took the car to the dealer and they repaced the plug that the but bulb was attached to now I'm just waited to see if any other issues occur.
I've had to replace the turn signal bulbs several times (3 times so far). The 2015 model uses one light to function as both the daytime running light and also as the turn signal. It looks to me like they overheat and it was probably a bad design in my opinion. I feel like Hyundai needs to strongly consider a recall to rectify this ongoing problem. I don't ever remember having to replace a turn signal on any of the vehicles I've ever owned and it seems this will be an ongoing problem. It creates a bit of a safety issue too - being without a front turn signal when this happens. I put March 16 below as that was the most recent occurrence.
The headlights, whether in auto-mode or on-mode, will randomly turn off by themselves for a couple seconds, then cycle quickly back on and off, before turning back on after a few seconds. Within a 30min drive this typically will happen at least once. It is speed independent; it will occur at highway speeds, during rest at a stop light, driving through a parking lot, through dark twisting forest roads, etc. , etc. Sometimes, although not always, operating the turn signal will initiate the issue. As documented by video, when in auto-mode and the situation occurs, the "light-mode" dash display will quickly alternate between off and auto as the lights themselves cycle off and on. It is extremely dangerous for a driver and also surrounding vehicles, as all exterior lighting is lost and the vehicle goes dark.
Right daytime running light/turn signal replaced twice within 6 months. Both times was working when vehicle was parked, stopped working next time vehicle was driven. Both times, the car had been driven on both city streets and highways before being parked overnight.
