Can a 2005 Hyundai Sonata headlamp assembly be taken apart ?

Hi Angela, look behind the headlamps and you will see a cog like wheel with a small bolt in the middle (below the headlamp harness). use a small ratchet or spanner to turn the whell left or right for up and down to lift or lower the headlamp.Place you vehicle facing something that is white and turning the bolt slowly you will note the headlamp moving up or down. Hope this is helpfull info as that is how i sorted mine out.

IS LOCATED ON SWITCH WHERE YOU TURN ON HEADLAMPS GRAB THE END OF THAT SWITCK AND PULL OUTWARD.

catalydic converter is melted- as it gets hotter- chokes the exhaust down- engine runs harder and hotter... replace

with or without DRL (day time running lamps)

if without...
since both headlamps have their own fuse I would start by testing the headlamp (low) relay

if however, the high beams do not work either, then you may have a more serious wiring concern


let me know if you need any further assistance

hi from uk the headlamp bulb retaining clip ? if you go visit local breakers you will find the clip you mention on almost any car/model if you know what clip looks like even if the headlamps on crashed cars are broken this clp is still usable and undamaged hope this helps ?

How many bolts did you remove?... three (3)? If so, good. Now you have to drop the front bumper next to the headlamp assy so it will be clear of it.. then it will come out.

there is an adjustment screw on the back of the headlamp assembly. check the bulb and make that is installed straight with the metal tab lined up inside the hole.

The adjustment screws/nuts should be located either on the top of the headlamp assembly, behind the headlamp assembly, or near the frame rail by the radiator support.

You will have vertical adjustment screws for each independent beam (separate highs and separate lows, but will be same screw if highs and lows are the same bulb). You may also have additional horizontal adjustment screws as well

Park your car on a level ground 30 feet from a wall and measure the height from the ground to the bulb and mark on a wall (do this for highs beams and low beams if the bulbs are separate, if highs and lows are the same bulb, only do it for the lows)

If the headlights read VOR, then aim the brightest part or cutoff part just below the mark on the wall. If it says VOL or nothing, aim them 2 inches below the mark on the wall.
