Description of the problem	This is not about an incident. The car has very week head lights, i use my high beam at all time. Never got any signal from on coming car that my high beam are on, and it's been going on for over 2 years. I changes the bulbs and no change. I went to 2 dealerships, one in de and one in md , and the answer i got was that all hyundai has problem with weak lights. I contacted hyundai and got a stupid answer "the dealer knows everything, we don't have any information to give you" (my case # was 7661319). I can't see when i drive, the headlights are 55w and the dealer told me that if i'll use stronger watt it may melt the wires and will cost me a of money to fix. I wonder if i am the only driver who has this problem and if there anything i can do to fix it. Thanks for your time.
