What is the headlight model of the Elantra?
2 Answers
The Elantra's headlights are divided into high beam and low beam. The low beam model is H7, and the high beam model is H11. Car headlights, also known as car front lights or car LED daytime running lights, serve as the eyes of the car, reflecting the owner's external image and are closely related to safe driving at night or in bad weather conditions. The Elantra is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan with a length, width, and height of 4610mm, 1800mm, and 1450mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 95.6 kW and a maximum torque of 211 Nm. The front suspension uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I've been driving the Elantra for several years and know that the headlight bulbs are usually the H7 halogen type, which have a lifespan of about a year. They tend to burn out or dim easily on bumpy roads. There might be slight variations across different model years—for example, H7 bulbs were commonly used before 2018, while higher trims after 2019 may come with LED headlights. I recommend checking the brightness whenever you change the oil. If you notice the light turning yellow or flickering, replace it early to avoid accidents from poor visibility at night. Changing the bulb yourself isn’t hard—just locate the headlight cover, remove it, take out the old bulb, and install the new one (but wear gloves to prevent static shock). Before buying a bulb, check your owner’s manual to confirm the model number. When shopping online, search for "H7 for Elantra" to ensure accuracy—safety first, always.
