(DIY Complexity: Easy / Time: 0.9 hour)
Parts:
1. Headlight Bulb
Tools:

HIGH PERFORMANCE HALOGEN HEADLIGHT BULB -- Low 45/high 65 watts, Dual
C-8 filament for both high beam and low beam; 100 percent legal halogen
headlight bulbs; Features the whitest and brightest light color similar
to daylight for safer night driving; Meets all US FMVSS 108 and Canadian
CMVSS 108 requirements.
Steps:
Step 1 Open the hood and locate the headlight assembly.
o Tip: Most headlight assemblies have a place in the rear to gain access to the headlight bulb.
o Tip: It is recommended that headlight bulbs are replaced in pairs.
o Tip: Always make sure the struts on the hood can fully support the weight of the hood so that it does not close on you while working. The use of a hood prop can securely hold it in place.
o Tip: Safety Tip:Always wear safety glasses when working on your vehicle. Wear other personal protective equipment (PPE) when necessary, for example latex gloves or safety shoes.
Step 2 Gain access to headlight bulb.
o Tip: It is a good idea to check the high beam and low beam headlight bulbs at this time.
Step 3 Disconnect the wiring harness and replace the old headlight bulb with a new one.
Remove the retaining ring from the base of the bulb, then...
...turn the bulb and remove it from the headlight assembly.
Step 4 Turn on the headlights and check high and low beams to verify repairs.

mine too i even bought after market headlight cases and they still bloww allt the time i wish hyundai would just recall the head lights theyve already recalled the exhaust manifold and i just got one for the srs airbag the other day and the brake lines what the hey????come on hyundai help us out already
I have a 2005 Hyundai Elantra GLS, in 6 months that I have had the car the passenger light has blown out at least 3 times. I read on this site something about the alternator "charging too good", so in my experience the alternator over charges when the battery is not holding the charge or the voltage regulator has gone bad. So I went for the first one, I went to a couple of autoparts shops to get my battery tested (check with more than one to make sure), and the found the battery has gone bad, which I belived since sometimes after leaving the car parked for a day or two will struggle when starting. So I changed the battery and got new bulbs, it's been a month and the light have not blown out yet.
