the headlight assembly to get to the

Removing/installing the headlight

assembly can result in damage to the

vehicle.

Information

The headlight and tail lamp lenses could

appear frosty if the vehicle is washed after

driving or the vehicle is driven at night in

wet weather. This condition is caused by

temperature difference between the lamp

inside and outside and does not indicate

a problem with your vehicle. When

moisture condenses in the lamp, it will be

removed after driving with the headlight

on. The removable level may differ

depending on lamp size, lamp position

and environmental condition. However, if

moisture is not removed, have the vehicle

inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI

dealer.
