Hi all,

I've been browsing around ebay to source various kits for an ultimate LED/HID upgrade for the GD i30...

DRLs on foglights and headlamps respectively:

Genuine Parts DRL FOG Light Lamp FOG Lamp Cover FIT Hyundai 2012 2013 I30 | eBay

Audi Style LED EYE Line Head Lamp Light DRL 12 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT I30 |

White HID Xenon upgrades for low/hi beam headlamps respectively:

H1 Xenon Super White 55W Bulbs Main Beam 12V Headlight Headlamp Light HID X 2 |

H7 Xenon White 55W Bulbs 12V Dipped Beam Headlight Headlamp Light Lamp 499 X 2 |

Cost: $38 including postage

LED for turn signals:

Tail/Rear LED (incl. turn signal) upgrade kit:

Rear bumper LED reflector lamp:
Rear Bumper LED Reflector Lamp 2WAY Complete FOR Hyundai 2012 2014 I30 Hatchback

Seeing as how I have no knowledge of installing electronics, I'll probably have to send the car and parts to an autobody shop for installation, probably looking at another $800-$1000 for labour.

Comments ?

Some nice mods there! If you have the cash and intend keeping your car for 4 or 5 years go for it...

I think a couple have been done or referred to on here before.

The DRL's and HID upgrade would be the two priorities if it were me!

Thanks for sharing this! - I've been waiting for a post that addresses all these mods in a long time.

I'm currently in the process to install the LED tail lights, which I have received this week from KMP Trade (the same link you provided here). If you need some feedback I can tell you the guys were really fast to ship and delivery took only 6 working days to the Netherlands, where I am right now for work related reasons. Once I come back home I will install them - I cannot wait to do it! I'll post some pics of the process of course.

Probably next mod will be LED turning signals for my new tail lights, but I still need to recover from that expense, ouch!

Cheers.

Great list there, avexdevil 

Possible correction though, I believe the GD uses H7 globes in both high and low beam lights... 

White HID Xenon upgrades for low/hi beam headlamps respectively:

H1 Xenon Super White 55W Bulbs Main Beam 12V Headlight Headlamp Light HID X 2 |

H7 Xenon White 55W Bulbs 12V Dipped Beam Headlight Headlamp Light Lamp 499 X 2 |

It's not a difficult job to do, except for fitting the Audi style light ribbons. You will need to pull the headlight body apart. That can be tricky and introducing moisture is a possibility too.

This is probably a dumb question but will replacing the factory high beams with these improve distance? And once installed do my lights need to be adjusted?

What are your plans to install the turning lights into the tail LED case? I guess you're considering those turning/reverse LED modules which is a DIY job. I still don't want to experiment and modify much my new LED tail lights (which I plan to install tonight - pictures to come).

Have you found instructions on how to do it?
