Elantra's low beam headlight model is H7, while the high beam is H1. Parameters of the H7 bulb: The power of the H7 bulb is typically 55W, 65W, or 80W, with an operating voltage of 12V, a color temperature of 3200K, emitting a yellowish-white light, and a illumination range of 50-80 meters. During installation, there are two terminals: one connects to the power source, and the other to the ground. Usage scenarios for low beam headlights: Low beam headlights must be turned on when driving in dark areas without streetlights, during dusk when it's dim or at dawn when the light is just appearing; in conditions of heavy fog, snow, or heavy rain where visibility is obstructed; and on certain roads where the lighting is insufficient despite having illumination facilities.

The H7 halogen low beam lights on the Elantra typically last about 2 years in real-world use. Once when I was driving late at night, I noticed the lights dimmed and had to buy a generic H7 bulb from a convenience store as an emergency fix, which only lasted three months. Later, I upgraded to Philips NightGuide H7 bulbs. Although they cost 30 RMB more, the brightness improved by over 20%, making nighttime mountain driving significantly safer. If you're considering an conversion, make sure to get one with a decoder to avoid triggering dashboard error codes.
