Why do my headlights only work on high beams?

Why do my headlights only work on high beams?

Headlight Fuse or Relay If a headlight fuse blows, it could cause the headlights to stop working. Most headlight systems are also designed with a relay that switches the power between low beam and high beam headlights. If this relay goes bad, it could allow power to the high beams, but not the low beams.

How do I know if my high beam relay is bad?

Have an assistant turn on the headlights. If you hear the relay click, you know the coil is working, but you don’t know about the contacts. If you don’t hear the click, your relay is probably bad. The safest way to test a headlight relay is to replace it with a known good one.

Can I use high-beam bulbs in low beam?

As the problem of lower luminosity exists with low beam bulbs, many motorists want to achieve a brighter light with their low beam settings. While it is not advisable or recommended at all that you do this, but with a little tinkering, it is possible to insert a high beam bulb in the low beam socket of your headlights.

Where are the low beams on a 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe limited?

I found out that there is actually a headlight relay under the driver’s side dash that, when it is bad, will cause there to be three highs at the headlights. You can find it between the side of the car and where the hood latch is located. I have the identical problem on my son’s 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited. Low beams suddenly stopped working.

Why are my Hyundai Accent low beams not working?

My 2005 Hyundai Accent low beams are not working. The high beams only work if I pull the turn signal light multi-switch back but the high beams do not work if I put them in full-time high beam. I checked the voltage at the headlight bulb when on low beam and all 3 connections read high, just like the original poster.

What are the problems with Hyundai Santa Fe headlights?

I think it is a definite safety issue. Led headlights particularly on unlighted roads present a darken shadow on the top half of the windshield while car is in motion. Narrowing view is a safety hazard as one is unable to see approaching traffic or pedestrians. Dealership and Hyundai customer support stated that headlights meet specs.

Why does my Hyundai Santa Fe have an eyebrow effect?

This seems to be a common complaint which Hyundai will not address claming there is no fix since the lights are performing as designed. At this point in time they do not offer a remady. This eyebrow effect appears when the car is stationary or in motion but only on the low beams.
