Simple Hyundai Elantra 2019 - 2020 headlight bulb replacement
Переглядів 23 тис.5 років тому
Because Hyundai doesn't want us to be able to replace our headlight bulbs easily. You know, because it's not a legal or safety issue when we're driving at night. I was given the recommendation to go through the wheel well, I did and it was reasonable enough (given that Hyundai thinks it's unreasonable to replace our own headlight bulbs...)

    Ralphie! Brilliant! Great video! Video quality needs work but holy moley It looks like your method gains you the easiest access to the insanely inaccessible headlight bulbs for a changeout. I'm not going the LED bulb route like some on here but I'm upgrading the wife's commuter car's headlight bulbs to Sylvania 9005 "purple box" that'll give her better visibility without blinding drivers in oncoming cars. I bought a trim kit with pry tool on Scamazon in case I mess up the plastic trim pins. But It looks like driver side, turn the tires all the way to the right, remove trim plugs, gain access, reach up inside, change bulb. Lather, rinse Repeat for passenger side but turn the wheel all the way to the left. Some of the videos on here showed guys removing the entire front end of the car, bumper and all, to gain access to the rear of the headlight assemblies. Oy caramba! THANK YOU; you saved me a lot of time and aggita, especially on Christmas weekend! Merry Christmas!

I bought Sylvania Xtravisions (halogen) and they're not bright enough at all. However I don't want them to blind other drivers on the road either which is what one 1 star review said about Fahren Termitor LED bulbs.

      @@Ravioli74020 I don't believe it is a problem that can be solved by replacing parts, I think it's a fault with the headlight setup. I don't know how base model yours is, but I'm convinced they punished people that bought the base models lol. Like cruise control didn't come on my car, I was upset about that until I saw that I could simply switch the non cruise control plate with the one with it, it worked fine without doing anything but that, it's probably a part that costs them 10 cents more than the mostly blank one. I assume I'm being punished with the lights too, after the LED upgrade I didn't worry too much about the brights, in my situation I didn't need them. Where I used to live would have been a problem though.

MY CB need a SHORT THRROOOO hahaha, jk on that too...you know I think a lot of dudes think short throw equals sweet looking short shift knob....not the case though as you have found out...it's all about that pivot point and when using the original shaft like you have that becomes interesting, SO questions: How's your boot pleather hahahaha? it gonna make it? How did it fit together (well or not) in terms of you CUTTING YOUR DAMN RETAINER PIECE jESUS just to get that bolt to slide by? Is your console ok? AND...how sweet is it to have a shorter throw doe now you jacked up the points? I bet it made the jerry rigging and boot catching worth it...or is it not possible to run it with the boot on and so you have a gaping hole still? ANd what about did you use the same bushings holding the cotterpin side and the bolt side together? Because it looks like you basically attached the old points to new fangled made points...so do your new points also have rubber washers at least or something? Not tryin to bust your nuts...that is actually a pretty sweet DIY job....ALSO...how did you manage the bolt on bits? I don't see weld marks and looks like you just machined out some blocks of aluminum or something...talk to me Ralphy...don't shoot that eye out just yet hahaha thanks dude, sincerely Your 9th sub hahahaha
