How to replace the headlight fuse on a 2003 Hyundai Elantra?

I'm trying to replace the left headlight fuse on my Hyundai Elantra, but all I get when I search online is referrals to other places. I've tried Hyundai Forums, but it won't let me register or log in.

Could someone please give me instructions on how to do it?

    In most cars the headlights are fused together in other words if the fuse burns out the headlights go out. If one light is out you need to check the bulb not the fuse.

    The 03 elantra was produced with a headlamp relay instead of a fuse. They are a little more expensive than a fuse but are supposed to last longer. The relay you are looking for should be under the hood in a rectangular black box. If it is not there, there should be another fuse panel under the dash either on the drivers side or the passenger side foot well. Good luck!

    There are 2 fuse boxes. One is on the side of the dash on the driver's side. The part you can see when the door is opened. The other is under the hood on the drivers side. It will have a flat black cover the you just press the release tabs on and pull off. Each has a diagram on the cover telling you what each fuse is for.

    Anthony has a handle on it. Usually the lamps are fused together. If you have replaced the lamp then it may be a problem with the socket or the feed to the socket. In that case you will need to use a test meter to check for voltage.

    keep it simple. Locate the fuse marked headlamp, pull it, replace it and be done w/ it. Diving in any further will be confusing at best unless you have a distinct knowledge of automotive electrical systems

    You really shouldn't nee to unless you are talking left to right horizontal alignment. there are adjusters and the best way to find them is a manual then you need to be on a flat surface with lights pointed at a perpendicular wall....
