If you have read those two links, you will note that Diesels (which you have) have reportedly been prone to headlamp blowing.
Have you tried fitting new bulbs or swapped bulbs or proceeded with any of the diagnostics mentioned in those posts, using a multimeter (or even a test lamp) to trace 12V supply to the lamps?
Also check earth points.

Thanks for the response. I'll try testing the headlight globes with a multi-meter and replace them if they blown. Just very strange to have them both blow at once.

GENERAL / Re: Tailgate Release Button Rubber protector detioration and failure

That's for a complete switch, the rubber boot is integral to it. Just prise the old one out, unplug the connector, plug it into the new switch and snap it into position. The OEM part number is 81260-A5000, and is for the GD hatchback. I could have paid £40+ for a genuine Hyundai/Kia part, but they're not exactly proving to be very durable. I'm surprised at the number of second-hand ones being offered on eBay where the rubber boot is falling apart.

Brendan, is that a complete switch (so you have to swap the wiring) or just a rubber/plastic cover for the actual switch?

I just replaced the switch on my car, and also on a similar car we just bought for my partner. About £11 for a 3rd party equivalent. It's quite easy to prise out the old switch at one side, then snip or break off the retaining tab. Push it back in, then lever it out on the other side, it's then easier to pull out the other side where the tab has been removed.

The high-beam works, as do the LED driving lights.

GENERAL / Check headlight (Low) warning - no headlights
« Last post by inmn May 25, 2024, 03:20:14 »
I purchased a Hyundai i30 PD Elite diesel hatch (build date late 2017) a month ago with 198K km on it. It's a work car. I am a field technician. I have been very happy with it, already driven 5K km, no problem.
Yesterday on the way home in the dark the headlights stopped working. I got the error message on the dash Check headlight (low) (see image).
I can see a couple of posts about it:
:link: Loss Of Both Low Beam Head Lights
&
:link: Both low headlights blown at same time - confirmation bulbs look ok

There are loads of festoon LEDs of all sizes. I hit eBay and look for something that promises to give a cold white light. Wattage won't really be a concern once you move to LED.
