Title: Head light levelers
Post by: Thumper on June 21, 2008, 16:14:37

If you adjust your lights when there is no load in the vehicle, then put for adults, with luggage in, you'll find your lights pointing up into the air, blinding oncoming traffic.

Ok, adjust your lights for this. All is fine.

Now, when everyone hops out, with only the driver in the vehicle, your lights are now pointing several meters in front of the vehicle, totally useless!

Hyundai, you provide this function on the i30 elsewhere in the world, why not Australia? If it costs an extra $150 to implement, then I would gladly pay for this functionality at time of purchase.

ADR's have nothing to do with it since there are many EU spec vehicles here with headlight levelers on them.

Hyundai, please consider!

OK how does one adjust the headlights on the i30?      It would be great to have some sort of handbook to help?  Also it looks like a terrible job to replace a globe? Thee handbook advising to remove the headlight asembly. Gosh how does one do that on the road and how many bolts etc?.

id say hemmi! how come everywhere else they seem to have all these various models and extra functions...also the two fob keys *shakes fist at hyundai australia* hopefully we can atleast get some things to retrofit later...and hopefully they dont crank the price too high for the things we didnt get on our car....
