Hello - can someone tell me what fuse protects the headlights? BOTH of my headlights are out!

Also - can someone tell me what the On/Off switch is for in the fuesbox? (see the picture)

I should have included all the fusebox pictures - here are pictures of the Inside Box Lid - showing the fuse names, and a picture of the engine bay fusebox and lid.

OK - I found an answer to the FUSE SWITCH question - it was in the manual... it basically disconnects the battery so it is not drained while the car is in storage or transit.

Hi - thanks - I will double-check these fuses - but they all look fine.

Has anyone found a way to remove the headlight bulbs without pulling the bumper off?
May going thru the wheel well?

You didn't mention your year and model.
Mine is the 2021 Venue Preferred, the halogen bulbs can be changed from inside the hood, same as in this video...

Hi - Sorry- mine is a 2022 Hyundai Venue SEL - with Sunroof, but no BlueLink.

Took it to the dealership this morning - tech was sure I was stupid, pulled a bulb and couldn't believe it... good bulb, but no light. We shall see what they find. Personally, I think it's silly that there is one light and a motorized shutter to change from low to high beam... they eliminated the availability of having the high beam as a backup and now the headlamp unit is very expensive.

I will post an update with any news.

Mine takes standard HB3 or 9005 halogen bulbs, not overly expensive. When I look up the USA SEL model, it indicates it uses the same bulb.
The 9005 used to be the high beam in two lamp Hi/Lo systems. Most projector style headlamps use the shutter for switching beams.
Glad they are on the way to sorting it out. Let us know how it goes.
OK - so in the 2022 Venue there is ONE BULB per side that does BOTH low and high beam - if that bulb blows, the side is out, no low beam, no high beam... just dumb. To compound this situation, there is a motorized shutter inside the headlight assembly that gives the desired beam - which is inventive, but silly when you consider that headlight assembly now costs over $500 MSRP!!!! EACH!!

Wholesale Hyundai Parts currently has the headlights at $374 each - without the bulbs!

So, both headlights blew out on my wife's Venue within hours of each other... kinda strange - they looked OK - but the dealer confirmed they were blown out - so the dealer replaced them and covered this under warranty - which is also strange because the warranty language specifically states the warranty does NOT cover wear items like wiper blades, brakes and bulbs.

They couldn't explain it, but they replaced the bulbs and the Venue has headlights again and can be driven at night again - but the thought of such an expensive headlight assembly on a low-end car is absurd. Dumb idea Hyundai! So, keep this in mind if your stock headlights blow out and be sure to ask if there is any kind of "SECRET" warranty on the headlight bulbs.

Am I missing something, why would you need to replace the entire headlight assembly when you have a burned out bulb? I think it's safe to say that the headlight assembly for any car is expensive.
I just think it's absurd that one of the most economical vehicles in Hyundai's lineup has such over-engineered and expensive headlights - it is unnecessary. A simple fender-bender could cost alot more because they used these overly-complicated headlights.

And yes, headlight assemblies are expensive, but most don't have motors and shutters and are over $500MSRP.
Headlights for my Honda Fit are $86 for BOTH!!
Headlights for my friend's F150 Truck are $69 for BOTH!
Headlight assembly prices I looked up:

Headlight bulbs (#9005) for Venue, from Rockauto:
From $3.52 to 23.74 each.
I believe the venue ultimates have the upgraded LED type headlamp the bulbs are not replaceable. Can someone confirm with an ultimate that the headlight bulbs are replaceable? This sounds like you have to replace the entire assembly. Thread on headlights

From the owners manual "If the vehicle is equipped with LED headlamps, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer."
This would seem to indicate the LED lamps are not replaceable, at least not by the user.
LEDs should be far more reliable than incandescent bulbs used in the lower trims.
With my ultimate I notice in the winter months as darker loger, I get flashed from other drivers thinking I have my highbeams on. I wish the North American versions had the beam tilt adjuster like the India version. I need to take mine in to have adjusted as it annoying.
