Lets say you go 52 miles on a full tank of gas (which is a 8 gallon tank). The gas tank will lose a quarter tank of gas from the trip. So, 52 divided by 2 =26. The trek was both highway and city combined. The Hyundai Accent is getting 26 mpg, not 40, which was the reason Hyundai reimbursed purchasers of the Accent in the form of a debit card to make up the difference (look it up). Hyundai had misleading stickers on the windows in the showrooms about gas milage, and issued a formal apology. If you are so low on the totem pole in this world that you *have to* buy a Hyundai Accent, just buy a Golf cart (they are fully electric), or ride a bike. If you buy this piece of sh%t, you got ripped off by a shady car dealship. I had one for 2 years (still have one, and it is in the shop today with EVERYTHING wrong with it). Total piece of sh^t "car" if you want to call it that - it doesn't even have power windows!

Bad relay, bad switch, or a fault in the wiring. A slight chance that it could be the headlight assembly itself, although I'm a bit doubtful about it happening to both of them simultaneously.
