Headlight Blown - Genesis Forum: GenCoupe Hyundai Genesis Forums

rl2k05 · 02-18-2012, 12:21 PM

So, I had a head light (LB) go out and I replaced it. But the new bulb isnt light up either. The other side works and the HB and signal works, but no low beam. Any suggestions???

if they are the HID conversion kit you have, it might be the ballast.

No, regular h11b bulb. I took the HID's out a while ago.

There is a fuse for each headlight.

Any idea what where it is? I checked the fuse box and didnt see it labeled. Does it just control the LB?

Probably under the hood

Cool thanks!!!

Check these 4 fuses, depending on what side it is. I kept blowing one side, then the other because of a bad ballast. This is where to replace your fuses. don't go higher than the rating. find your short. if there two blow then change out the brown relay in the picture. relays are pricier tho so test to see what the problem is

So even it I have HB's and signals, the LB is separately controlled by a fuse?

well the controller is still the same but its separately protected. this takes two seconds to go check. when you buy new fuses buy 3 or 4. if it keeps shorting I'd talk to your dealer. Shorts like this for no reason should be under warranty.

Doesn't the fuse box lid say what fuse is what? And yes there is a fuse for both lo and both hi beams.

it does. but theres 2 fuses protecting the same light essentially. so I got fixated on the two that werent blown when i had this problem and then i went WELL WTF IS WRONG!? didnt occur to me that there'd be two fuses in series. save this guy a headache. let us know how it goes.

Three fuses actually. One covers both (20A) and then a 15a for the individual lamps. So if one headlight works the 20a is good for sure.

That worked, it was one of the 15 amp fuses. Totally blown.
