2015 Poor Headlight performance

[burtinboy]

Loving the car but i feel like the headlights are not as bright as they should be.
Can anyone else comment about the performance/illumination?

I know there is auto-headlight leveling but maybe the 'zero' on the level is off (aiming too low) - can I DIY?
Thanks

a well known issue is the headlights being pointed too far down. I think re-leveling them to a slightly higher than stock position would help. Now that its dark when I leave work I have noticed it much more than over the summer when the car is not driven frequently at night.

Just had mind raised this week. Much better. Just hope they're not too high now.....

still probably better than guys with HIDs in non-projector headlights..... geez those are terrible.

Is this something the Hyundai service guys can adjust pretty easily and for free?

I raised mine, made all the difference.

I talked mine into it. Then had him show me what he did, so I could continue to tweak it.

Thanks for posting ^^

so essentially you just stick a screwdriver in that hole near the headlights and turn?

Thanks for the replies. Glad it wasn't just me. Gonna try and raise them myself first as I'm going to dealer tomorrow. Car wash broke my recline toggle and seat goes "layflat" if touched.

Perfectly simple. Now I hope I didn't raise them too much. Guess I'll wait and see if I get "flashed" more than usual.
