My headlights keep burning out. I have had to change them at least 3-4 times per year. After the most recent change they blew back in within two weeks. I have to drive with my high beams on at all times.
The contact owns a 2009 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while stopped, he was made aware that the drivers side headlight failed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that both head lamp assemblies needed to be replaced. The mechanic informed that the passenger side headlight was burned. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000.
Within the last year and a half I have replaced the low beam headlights approximately 6 times. 3 times on the right headlight and 3 on the left. My mechanic can not tell me what is causing this. He said it looks like a grounding problem. Have you had any reports of this problem or is this an isolated problem? the cost of these bulbs are getting too much to bear. It seems to be getting worse because I replaced the left light last week and the right light today (12-8-14).
Headlights dim but don't automatically shut off when turning off the car thus draining battery leaving dead car.
