which are side lights 56 fantafe 7 seater

[roxey64]

i hope someone can point me in the right direction i was driving my van with my wife in our car behinde me and noticed the the front lights on our santa fe looked different?
i pulled over and flaged her down saying you have not got your light on properly, only to discover she had yet they look different, so i put on the side lights and had the red back lights come on but no front lights? any ideas what this can be

Ok can anyone tell me which lights are supposed to come on when the lights are turned to the first position and the second position?

1st position should turn on your tail lights and quarter lights (4 corners)
2nd position will turn on your headlights

I'm guessing you are in the uk with a late'06 or early '07 car.

You should never have any lights on at the front with none at the rear, and vice versa ( except brake lights)

Sounds like a blown fuse or busted relay.

It's a lousy picture but this section of the headlight should light up with the lights turned on in any position:




And is the clear section under the main and dipped light bulbs in the photo below:



If you reach behind the headlight the sidelight bulbs are the closest to the wing on each side, and although awkward they are a quarter turn to remove. Turn the socket not the wire. If you have a meter you can test to see if the bulb socket is getting power, or just get yourself some replacement w5w/wedge type bulbs and try them.

Here in north america that part does not light up. I would like if it did.

I always assumed the orange section lit up as marker lights? Looking on google it seems odd but are the indicators are used instead? I really quite liked the illuminated brow styling.

I'd be tempted to take the headlight out and see if there isn't a blanking plate/bung that you could remove to make them work. Must be a relatively simple mod?

Not sure I'd fancy opening up the units but this is effective: Daylight Running Lights for Hyundai Sta Fe DRL Philippines - 5732910

These units are off the shelf but not cheap:

There's a spot on the back of the headlight on our model that looks like it is where the bulb would have gone, I may at some point drill it out and stick an led bulb in it, just have to wait for the wife to forget she said no more lights!

I actually ordered 8 of these, 2 for my new reverse lights, and 6 extra to sell to a local led dealer, but they would be perfect to throw in there once I make sure heat won't be a problem.

By the way, anyone needing led bulbs should look through DX.com 's list it's amazing and dirt cheap with free shipping, tho it can sometimes take 3-4 weeks to get your stuff

Thank you for your answers it looks like they are called position light but cannot see any where a mention of a fuse it seams funny otherwise that both have blown at the same time
