Title: Will facelifted headlights fit my 2008 i30
Post by: xlipower on May 28, 2010, 13:40:11

The other day my car was damaged by a loose horse. Insurance will pay for the repairs. I have talked with the repair shop, and they are willing to fit the new headlights from the facelifted 2010 model if they are the same size..

Does anyone know if this is possible. I like the look of the new headlights, so would be really cool to have them installed instead of the originals..

From what i can see on pictures of the facelift, the shape of the lamps have not changed, just the inside shape and color. The new model is being launched tomorrow here in denmark, so I haven't seen it "live" yet..

It is now confirmed by Hyundai that they will fit, and they will be replaced this week along with all the repairs and the warranty fix on my aircon.. Looking foreward to get it back. I have been equipped with a Toyota Corolla Verso as a temporary car.. My god - The Hyundai is just so much more comfortable..!
