Headlights Hella or OEM Hyundai
Hella. Premium quality, OE supplier for many carmakers
I run the H4 conversions from HELLA and they have been great. A lot more light than the old sealed beams and retains the stock look unlike the dorky looking LEDs. I ran a relay harness so they get power direct from the battery.
Upgraded OEM style like hela. The og lights are effectively candles at this point.
Totally agree. I used to be scared to driving after dark in my previous car (Hyundai i10, so not really comparable), but I don\u2019t even think about it in my EX-30.
My 23 SEL has way better light output than my 14 Audi with HID projectors.
I really like the retro-inspired rectangle headlights on a Hyundai Ioniq for example.
I just came across new headlights made by Hella which are look alike VW MK5 versions and installed one to test the beam pattern on my GTI337. It appears that VW MK5 versions are newer one and due to that fact are engineered to put more light on the road. There is no visible cut out in a beam pattern like on OEM versions, but the MK5 look alike seem to be winning on my check list.
I20 halogen headlight so bad might as well not drive at night. Meanwhile the led headlight on asta is good.
what you do is chuck these in the garbage and just buy hella h4 replaceable 7" round headlights (they are glass as well so it wont fade/uv cooked) and stick with those. these offbrand amazon/ebay/temu/aliexpress halo led headlights have such garbage light output and beam pattern that you'd be better off just strapping led pen lights to the front of your car.
The headlights were HORRIBLE. The low beam was so narrow that it really only lit up a tiny band about 8 feet in front of the car and there was almost perfect blackness ahead of and behind that. Hyundai said that was normal. The high beams provided great light on country roads, but obviously can't have them on full time.
