Title: Changing headlights bulb to "day white"
Post by: Raid on July 29, 2015, 16:59:42
Hello guys just wondering if I can change my normal headlights bulb to day white Light bulb and would I need any mod for it to work plz and also would that avoid the warranty?

Ok, that's just a normal H7 headlight "xenon wannabe" bulb. No problems installing them and no problems regarding warranty.

To answer that question I think you need to know where on the Kelvin scale the DRL LED's are, and that isn't info I have got.

Raid.

You are unlikely to get an exact match but probably be close enough (much closer than the originals) There are so many different temperatures of light each producing a slightly different shade.

As far as warranty is concerned, if you upgraded to say 100 watt globes (from 55 watt) and this caused something in the headlights to melt or cause a short in the wiring (for example) only the warranty on the headlights or anything related to the headlights/wiring would be effected. Not the total car warranty.

Same with any other mod. Only items pertaining to that mod effected under warranty.

Maybe your lights need adjusting, Mandurah Hyundai can check that for you.

Raid - just so you're aware, Smitha10 has an FD i30 (the previous model) which uses an H1 bulb for the high beam.

Yours being a GD i30 only uses H7 bulbs for both the dipped beam and high beam. Wouldn't want you to get the wrong bulb. :lol:

Pretty simple, take the inspection cap off and you'll see the bulb connector there, it pulls straight out but is very tight "don't pull it by the wires"
