| Description of the problem | 2006 hyundai azera low beam headlights defects. Definite design flaw, preventing headlights to properly illuminate roadway. Hyundai owner forums on-line address the problem by many, many other owners, but mfg. Refuses to deal with the problem, or even address my e-mail complaints. I also have a 2008 hyundai azera, with perfect headlight illumination. Dealer says 2008 headlight bulbs are not adaptable to my 2006 model, without replacing the whole assembly. Many drivers report on the forum's that driving on unlit rural roads, make it almost impossible to see anything on the roadway more than a few feet ahead, such as a deer or road debris. A simple replacement assembly would correct the problem for all of us. |
