2019-2020 Hyundai Elantra led DRL's and headlight adjustment

[@angelahardy-jones9567]

I did it! I didn't need to take it to my mechanic. Paid $7.99 for two bulbs at O'Reilly's. Super stoked!!!

[@user-to1xj5cc5m]

Dude, your vids are amazing and I have watched so many because everyone either gets to technical or does more talking then actual showing. I had no idea where to even find the location and now I can even adjust the height! Man your a legend

I greatly appreciate it. Glad I could help

Hey man thanks for uploading this! I just got a 2019 and the headlights have been awful between needing new bulbs and not looking right even after having them realigned. Now I can just do it at home! Thanks for sharing 😊

Thanks for the video, I swapped out my daughter’s DRLs today. Really easy with the help of your video, the bulbs are a tight fit! The first time I tried they were not seated properly, I remembered your video and and used a little more force and got them to work.

Hopefully you got the canbus LEDS

[@MsLaunt]

ughhhh the lady at O'Reilly's gave me the bulb # 9005 and it still didnt work. switched out my high beam bulbs & my low beam lights. STILL after all that my right side DRL still havent came on. really trying to avoid going to a dealership considering they told me they would charge me $90 just to take a look at it & not knowing how much more it would be for the parts. ill go and try this again but i was told it could possibly be a shortage in my DRL right side light wiring...

Use maxgtrs 1157 led bulbs.
They are so far the most consistent ones which seldom prompts out any errors

[@edwinhernandez2727]

So to not get the tiragle with the exclamation mark i would need to use the Brand called CANBUS l e d lights ? And if so can i get a link on where to get them please

[@joehyundaitech7961]

when replacing the drl on driver side unless you have really thin arms and hands you will need to remove one thing to gain access to the bulb and it has only 2 push pins holding it in place

[@MCPHILL]

Yep it just depends on the size of your hands lol

[@oorosp4489]

I really need help. I just bought LED color changing lights and both bulbs work. but when I install it fully, one side turns on with the car and the other side doesn’t but the side that doesn’t work still lights up.

Try swapping the bulbs and see if you have the same issue. It could be a defective product

[@collinstarotjourney2343]

You have to get canbus leds or add resistors to the harness

[@uglyboi2735]

What kind of bulbs do I need to do this and what voltage etc? I'm new to this but I always wanted to change my 2020 elantra lights.

[@MCPHILL]

For daytime running lights you need 1157 canbus leds

[@jalilward2059]

I don’t have a clue why mine won’t work , I have a 2020 just like you man and the same bulb

[@MCPHILL]

I'm not sure. Maybe you have a bad bulb or blown fuse?

[@chrishelton8562]

How did you get the bulb out? I have tried multiple times and only managed to mange the end of the housing trying to get it out.

[@MCPHILL]

Use pliers or something to grab the plastic fin at the end and twist counter clockwise

[@maximilianbadham7957]

So I just got the 7528 bulbs for my 2019 Elantra. They say on the packaging that they’re compatible as the 1157 and they didn’t have the true 1157 at the store so I tried these. I got home and put them in, and they fit, but they show up with error codes for the daytime running lights, and don’t light up in normal daytime mode. I have to put the car in parking light mode or turn the headlights on for them to work. I guess I have to take them back and get the true 1157’s which is quite disappointing. But just a heads up.
