Your vehicle’s headlights play a crucial role in ensuring safety on the road, especially during nighttime driving or adverse weather conditions.
This comprehensive guide will cover everything you need about the 2015 Hyundai Sonata headlight bulb type, replacement procedures, and maintenance tips.
About 2015 Hyundai Sonata Headlight Bulb
The lights on the exterior of your Sonata indicate your location and intended actions to other drivers. Your 2015 Hyundai Sonata headlights are unique in that they are primarily intended for you, the driver, to see where you are going at night.
There is no tolerance for malfunctioning lights, which can be dangerous and result in a traffic citation. A replacement headlight bulb is usually required to resolve the issue, and you can find what you need at Shayan Auto Parts.
What is the correct headlight bulb size for your 2015 Sonata? The size is listed on the side of the bulb, or you can use the filter above to find the correct bulbs for your vehicle.
Headlights for Hyundai Sonata models are halogen or HID from the factory. They can have separate high and low beams or mix them, so choosing the right type for your vehicle is crucial.
Do you want to upgrade from regular halogen headlights? Look into Sylvania bulb options, which include ultra-bright halogen, LED, and aftermarket HID bulbs. Light bulbs do not last forever; thus, you will eventually need to replace your 2015 Hyundai Sonata headlights.
A headlight that no longer illuminates should be replaced, but failing headlights can also cause dim performance and flickering, which can be noticed at night. If you discover that both headlights are not working, it could be due to a burned-out bulb, a blown fuse, or another problem.

- For the high beam, the bulb type can be either 9005 or H7, depending on whether it is a halogen or LED headlight.

2015 Hyundai Sonata Headlight Replacement
2015 Hyundai Sonata headlight replacement, also known as a headlight low beam, follow these steps:
- Preparation: Before starting, disconnect the headlight assembly or battery to ensure safety during the replacement process.
- Accessing the Bulb: Depending on your Sonata model, you may need to remove the entire housing unit or twist the bulb about a quarter turn counterclockwise to access it.
- Handling the Bulb: Avoid touching the glass part of the bulb with your fingers, as the oil from your skin can cause that area to burn hotter, significantly shortening the bulb’s lifespan.
- Replacing the Bulb: Twist the bulb counterclockwise to remove it. If you’re replacing both bulbs, changing them in pairs is recommended to maintain consistent intensity and prevent one side from appearing brighter than the other.
- Cost and Locations: The cost of replacing a headlight bulb in your Sonata varies; Hyundai dealerships may be pricier, while parts retailers often offer free replacement if you purchase bulbs.
- Different Bulb Types: Some Hyundais have high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights, also known as xenon lights, which may require additional steps if the HID light is burnt out, such as dealing with a failed headlight ballast.
Remember to refer to specific tutorials or manuals for your Sonata model for detailed instructions tailored to your vehicle.
2015 Hyundai Sonata Headlight Adjustment
Based on the search results, here are the steps you can take to change the headlights on a 2015 Hyundai Sonata:
Vertical Adjustment: The Sonata and most other cars have headlights that can be adjusted vertically. You should measure the headlights’ angle against a wall. The driver’s side should be aimed lower than the passenger side to reduce glare.
Horizontal Adjustment: Many cars only allow you to change the height up and down. But some, like the Sonata, may have up-and-down and side-to-side adjustments. The service information clearly outlines how to make these changes.
Specific Instructions: Make sure the car is on a level area before adjusting the headlamps. At 33 feet from a screen, the low beams should be on, and the line that cuts off the beam should meet certain height and angle requirements.
Professional Help: If you’d rather have someone else do it, you can take your car to a mechanic. The mechanic can use a machine to quickly and accurately line up the headlights.
By following these steps, you can set your 2015 Hyundai Sonata’s headlights so that you can see clearly without blinding other cars.
