My hyundai's tail and head lights keep burning out. I have replaced about 6 sets in 5 years (2003 Sonata I bought used). Thank You, Frank Hilbert

I have a '03 Sonata. One of the brake lights went out when it was new. I had the dealership fix it since it was still under warranty. Since then, I have replace it 4 or 5 times. First other problem was the cruise did not work when my lights were on. Next, the dash light started coming on when I hit the brakes. Then, the parking lights would come on when I hit the brakes. After that, the cd player started turning on and off by itself. All of this has been going on for 3-4 years. I had searched the web, and everybody said they had problems but the dealerships could not resolve them. I didn't have the money to try to get it fixed. It would not pass inspection last week because the brake light was dim. The mechanic said the wrong light was in there (remember, first replaced by dealership, then I bought lights from auto parts store that specified my make and model). He grabbed up what he knew was the right bulb, and THAT FIXED ALL MY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS! I hope this info will help some other folks.

Take/Tow your vehicle to an authorized Hyundai dealership and pay the diagnostic fee... they will tell you exactly what the problem is and the cost of parts/labor to fix it... at least this way you'll know what the problem is and what's required to fix it.
