Is it the seal that is going too? They look beat to heck. I'd be interested to here if anyone else has had issues

 

idk.. but they're clearly defective. it's happening on both and i've never even touched them.

 

yeah from the pics it looks like it's defective and something to do with poor glass. I wouldn't take a no if that's the answer the dealership tries to give you.

 

damn, it looks like those were put through hell.

Definitely bring that in and show it to them.

 

Did.. like I said....

They accused me of putting aftermarket bulbs in.. and said I have to wait for hyundai rep

 

thats crazy talk right there... aftermarket bulbs would do no such thing... even through a simple unbolting of the headlights to replace the bulbs... ive done mine countless times and have no problem whatsoever... i call obvious defect

 

Headlights aren't glass, they're plastic.

 

fight for it they will give you bs they did to me

 

Here is the other thread about the headlights.

Headlight issue

 

Looks like someone sprayed it with a harsh solvent of some sort

 

oem headlights are about $600 each..

tho i know out of the local genesis coupe tuner crowd.... 3 or 4 of us go to that dealer to get serviced... and two purchased from that dealer...

hopefuly they'll just make it right to avoid loosing any business.

also hoping this isnt going to start happening to other people too... if it was just one light i'd say defect.. but both lights i'm thinking.. its could be an issue... and like i said. i've had my car longer than most

 

what harsh solvent could do that? its not melted or anything.. just cracked up... i did get my car detailed recently hmmmmm

but doubtful. anything that strong would have done some damage to my paint.. and my taillights are fine.. they aren't OEM tho and have only been on for about a month.

 

I'd say that they're both probably defective. Nothing you've done could have caused that, and even if you had changed out your bulbs, that wouldn't be the cause of the issue.

The change in temperature is probably what is causing it, but it shouldn't be. Living in Alberta our weather fluctuates A LOT and my car hasn't been garaged either, but I'm not having those issues (luckily!).

Hopefully the dealer doesn't give you too hard of a time, when you take it back in. If they do, I'd recommend trying another dealership.

 

ty luke.

 

Just an FYI....new headlights are only about $350, not $600.

 

Xenon ones, non-KDM?

I thought they were way more than 350.

 

regular base n20 are about that price at list cost. hid however.....600 list for one! lol

 

scary...

hope the dealer takes care of you man.

 

Yikes! :woah:

Hope they take of you.

 

did you paint ur bezels black? if so there gonna blame it on that, they'll blame it on anything

 

theyre not black... thats just the reflection from my black car

 

How the f*ck are "aftermarket" bulbs going to do THAT to a headlight assembly???

Why is it that most Hyundai service employees are on the verge of being completely useless.
(and I mean this in no disrespect to the forum members we have who are employees)

If it WERE an aftermarket bulb, odds are it would melt the plastic before doing anything else to it...


God people are completely stupid in the automotive industry...



/rant

P.S yes I'm having a bad day in the service industry.. thus giving me full permission to bash it

Does this logic apply to unbearable GFs?.....:ugh:

 

^^^^^ Agreed and +1000000 with lauren's rant lol. Those techs do not know their A** from a hole in a wall sometimes, and mabye it's not even them but their managers and execs that look at the bottom line all the time instead of true customer service.

I have seen the lights first hand and i'll tell you right now that it's not the lights or some other lame excuse they could give her. It is a manufacture defect plain and simple and the bottom line is the dealership should honor it. If that's the case we'll ride up there 10 gens deep and protest P

 

Yeah. dont know if u caught what I said. On saturday after I saw you guys the drivers side headlight was fine... yesterday when i went to dealership it was cracking too.

 

i had the same problem actually. i warrantied it and they replaced it right away

 

Did they let you keep the old ones?

 

no had to sent it into corporate to show them the issue. if there is enough of these, there are recalls

 

If there is enough of these, there are recalls

Yeah there MAY be a recall... but I mean, it'll probably take over 1000 vehicles with the same issue before they'd even consider it....
