2011-2016 Hyundai Elantra Headlight Replacement | Beginner Friendly! 

Sure thing! Glad I could help!

Happy to help! Thanks for watching!

Glad it helped! The LED bulbs are still bright and running well. Couldn't recommend more!

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more!

Glad I could help! Wish I had more time to make more videos on this car haha!

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

The headlights I used will work in your 2013 Elantra. Thanks for watching!

Very cool! I like making custom upgrades and making cars your own design. Keep up the good work!

Yes, after a while I noticed the hum in mine are getting a little louder. I only notice if I'm not driving or listening to music for now...

I used the stock headlight housing and so far I have had no issues! No burnt molten plastic!

I believe your vehicle takes an H11b bulb. The Forenner bulbs in my video are H11 (H11a). When shopping for bulbs, you should specify H11b, as the plug in portion of the bulb is different. Thanks for watching!

Gracias! Sí, hay dos posiciones diferentes para la bombilla que le va bien a este coche. En una de ellas, las luces LED se orientan arriba y abajo (como las tuyas); en la otra posición, las luces LED se orientan de forma horizontal, de lado a lado. Deberías usar una bombilla H11a (de lado a lado) en vez de una bombilla H11b (arriba/abajo). Gracias por ver mi video y por tu comentario!

Yup it should be the same for your 2011-2016 Elantra too!

@@andrewandmeatball followed your video step by step finished in 15 mins. Appreciate you greatly bro.

Looks like 80 watts. Hope that helps!

I haven't had any issue with them. As you can see, they fit the headlight housing perfectly, and I didn't have to modify it. I haven't had people flashing their brights at me either so I don't think it's blinding other drivers. Make sure you get H11a bulbs for the Elantra and not H11b. The difference is a 90 degree rotation of the two diode patches so H11b bulbs would really not direct the light through reflectors properly. I'll try to get a picture uploaded for ya!

@@andrewandmeatball appreciate it! It’s probably because your years headlights are reflector style and not projector style headlights like my 2016 Elantra GY don’t work as well with LED headlights as HID. I think I gotta get HID lights for my low beams.

@@Seemyhammer I looked at a couple resources online and they all state that LED bulbs are compatible with projector headlights. Some resources even state "they are a better alternative to HID and halogen bulbs". I have never tried this personally though so I cannot say for certain.

Yup, you could follow the steps and replace just the bulbs or you could just unplug the assembly and replace the whole thing with these steps and tools. Thanks for watching!

@@andrewandmeatball Thanks so much, great video by the way!

It lights up because light shines through it, but there's no bulb or LED strip that powers it. Thanks for watching!

Someone before you might have installed incorrect bulbs

I ordered the H11 bulbs referenced in the video. I went to replace the headlights and found that my 2015 Elantra Sport also has the 9005L+ low beams. This issue should be included in the video.

Yeah you're exactly right. As soon as one of my halogen high beam bulbs burn out I'm going to replace them with LEDs. Thanks for watching!

Good to know! Thanks for the info to help out viewers!

I replaced both sides, driver and passenger side. The bulbs can go on either side, they aren't one side specific.

@@eddoll216 the glowing white strip lights up when the headlight is on. It doesn't have its own light source. Good question!

Happy I could help!

Amazon

The fog light bulb size for this generation of Elantra is a 881 (I would recommend LED). H11a is the low beam size for sure and my headlights are still going strong months later. Thanks for watching!

@@andrewandmeatball My mistake, I thought the name change was the only difference with this model between the markets, but apparently that's not the case. Seems to be H7 where I live. Thanks for the video!

Thanks for the update.. Kindly advise the type of LED for Fog lights on Elantra 2013 since the H11a is meant for Low beam 👌

I didn't need to use any extra wiring or in line devices. The Fahren LED bulbs I used are plug and play. They're very bright, they don't flicker, and I don't get engine codes with them. I'd highly recommend!

@@andrewandmeatball thank you, hey last question when a kit says 6000 lm is per bulb or per set (3000lm each)

Speaking from experience, the LEDs that I installed in this video almost a year ago are still going strong without issue. They also level off (if you're not using your brights) to avoid shining too high and blinding oncoming traffic. Thanks for watching!

These Elantra headlights distribute the light throughout the headlight so as not to dazzle. Older cars do get stuck because their headlights are not designed for that function and the light comes directly out.

Not quite sure what you mean by lm... If you mean lumens, I believe they are 24,000 and the color is 6500k.

@@andrewandmeatball got you, very bright 🤭 thank you

Hey C1, As long as you're using H11a bulbs (not H11b) you can't malposition them unless you don't turn clockwise all the way. There are 3 tabs and one is larger to help prevent this issue.

I think they're factory... they've been on there since I've owned the car. A lot of it has to do with sunlight exposure and UV damage. They make kits to clear the haze off! Thanks for watching!
