This is the same problem I now have with my wife’s 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe sport, the dealer wants to sell me the whole headlight, they don’t sell the H11 harness. Am going to do just like you did, save myself $400 for the headlight .
+The Awesomist It is on the same side as yours and looks pretty similar with the burned plastic. Only difference is this one is a 2013. I'm hoping it will work because it looks like the same damn near setup all around. Found the wire/ connector you were referring to on ebay too. question, it looked like it had 3 connectors on it and I assume you only need the one? Do the other 2 just hang there?
+steelcurtain187 the connector I bought had 2 wires and I connected both. My headlamps have two wires as well. Not sure if that's the same on the 13, one thing about these cars is if they're manufacturered half way through the year or later they often have a mixture of parts. My wifes car is 2011 but has lots of parts for a 2012 which makes repairs a pain when it comes to buying replacement parts.
I have a 2011 Elantra, I’ve been having to replace the same low beam bulb over and over and I just saw that the wire is messed up. Will attempt to do this to see if the problem is fixed! Thank you! Btw, are the daytime running lights supposed to stay on even if you set the lights in the OFF position? Thanks! +1 subscriber
carlos alducin Oh my God dude, I have the same damn problem with my 2014 Sonata. I moved to a colder environment (from Bama) and this is the second year I've had to replace just about all my bulbs. And this time, the bulb didn't fix my right side issue. So frustrating!
So I have the same problem with my 2009 Sonata, but the bulb harness is a H11B instead of an H11. I can find all types of harness for h11 but not H11B; I can find a conversion kit for H11 to H11B---so, do you think I can just cut the conversion in half and splice on the end with the H11B connections to my wires? Does that make sense?
Hi I'm about the replace an connector with both wires black colour. By marking one of them "the right (or left obviously)" how do you know which terminal of wire on the new connector you are going to wire together with your car wirings? It obvious does not say left or right on the new connector right? Hope my question makes sense, thanks!
So let me ask, the dealer said he would have to replace the “harness” for the socket that looks just like the one in your video. Wants to charge 260$ out the door. Reason being, labor....said he would have to take off the bumper in order to replace the wiring harness? Does this sound right? It’s a 2012 but otherwise, same exact problem. Thanks for any feedback, and great video!
Nothing involving a dealership sounds right. $260??? What's the guy a doctor? Start investigating the wiring yourself. See if its burnt or melted. Harness is just this guy trying to make himself sound like he knows what he's doing. Dude it's a simple fix. Stop making it complicated.
I have a 2013 and the socket doesn’t have the two guide lines. Both sides look exactly the same and both wires are yellow. How can I figure out which side is which? Edit: nevermind, I got it. The bulb only fits one way because there a notch in the middle on one side and not the other. Easy peasy
+Juan vegas Mine has not burned again. I would check your fuse box make sure there's nothing wrong in there. If you have a short the wires will melt. Otherwise it could be the heat of the bulbs. Though I don't think there are any alternative options.
Thanks for the help, my car had this exact problem. Now I can finally get the cops to stop harassing me over my busted headlight!

I wish my Sonata had a twist bulb. It has some dumb wire instead!
Just what I was looking for. Thanks for keeping it short, simple and concise. Well done.
Thanks for the helpful video. Gonna attempt this soon on my girlfriends Elantra!
+steelcurtain187 When I made this video I was curious how many other people are having this problem.

Thanks for this! I just replaced my connector with ease.
I had the same problem in my Focus. Pretty easy to fix.
Great vid. Straight to the point.

+carlos alducin My day light bulbs always have. So I assume they're supposed to stay on.

thanks that help me a lot just the answers i was looking for
this was very helpful life saver...thanks buddy!!!
You're welcome. Glad it helped.
where can I find puzzle lock connectors?
Those popsi lock connectors you used are $10.00 on amazon. Can I just use the regular twist on connectors?
+David Erlenbush Yeah. I like the posilocks because they stay together and are easy to disconnect and reconnect whenever.

Did it ever burn again? Mine keeps burning I wonder what it is?
