2010 hyundai elantra headlights electrical problem

My headlight on the drivers side only works intermittently. Sometimes I have to pop the hood, then close it, and then the headlight works. I've had terrible problems with bulbs burning out in this car. Thoughts?

By slamming down the bonnet makes the light work indicates a loose bulb or a bad/loose earth in the system. Check that the bulb is tight under the fitment springs that hold it in the reflector and that the earth wires are making good contact on the bulb and where it earths out

check for any circuit brakers near the fuse box, if theres any of them reset them by introducing a paperclip in the small hole and press, you will hear a click.

Why do my headlight burns out often

My personal experience the headlights burn out frequently because it's a Hyundai. I have a 2005 Elantra (105K) and a 2007 Santa Fe (135K), and I have replaced headlights in both of those cars more than all of the 20+ other cars I have owned in my lifetime. I never touch a new bulb when replacing them, the sockets are all fine, they're just Hyundais and electric/wiring reliability is not in their capabilities. I keep a spare set of headlights in each of the cars. It's so bad that the cashier at the parts store asked me about 5 years ago if I had a Hyundai. She had the same problem with her Elantra.

Where is fuse box for windows in 2003 hyundai elantra

There is a fuse box to the left of the steering wheel. The little compartment that opens up there can be totally removed to reveal the fuses. There is a fuse diagram on the back of the compartment. There should be a spare fuse for each amp level used and a plastic tool to remove or replace fuses with.
There is another fuse box under the hood on the same side as the battery and driver side headlight.

Remove headlight cover for 2002 elantra

You shouldn't need to.  If you pop your hood open, you can unplu the headlight hardness from the bulbs.  Then you should be able to turn the bulb assembly about a 1/4 to 1/2 turn and they will come right out.
