Hi All!

Just bought a 2018, i30 estate, 1.6 Diesel automatic.

PI’m super fussy about nighttime visibility, and am looking to upgrade to LED headlamps. I’ve swapped to after market LED’s on a number of vehicles, but the i30 has me slightly stumped.

The Main beam and cornering lights are a fairly simple swap, they are H7’s with a spring clip to secure them, but the Dip Beam is different. It’s an H7, but held in place with what looks like an adapter from a different design of bulb…

My question is… is there another design of bulb which fits the adapter’s 3 tab design? I’ve seen YouTube videos which suggest that Hyundai use other formats of bulb in other international markets. Would something like a 6009 fit?

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!! Otherwise it’ll be trial and error to see what works?

My guess is your seeing the completely stupid factory plastic adapter

AUXITO New Style H7 CANBUS LED Headlight Kit High or Low Light Bulb 6500K White | eBay

I've heard these fit and won't throw a bulb out error  though haven't tried them myself.

Quick update to this post…

Yes! They are factory specific. A 9006/9005 is NEARLY the same fit, but not quite.

Turns out, Amazon has adapters available. Still needed to adapt the adaptors, but after an hour or so of fiddling, I now have a set of 80+80 watt D-Lumina LED’s fitted.

I can confirm, I’m now able to see the hair on a badgers bum from 500 meters in pitch dark!!

Next job is a light bar…



(Actually, next job is a Starlink Mini on the roof, then the light bar. New stereo wouldn’t go amis either…)
