Which one should I buy? Please help me out! - Page 3

I definitely want to install the new projector headlights right away but i need to see how it works for others first. The thing that I really concern about is my electrical system on my car. The seller will finish assembling the headlights w/ oem HID and OEM BALLAST. Led strip can be used up to 100,000 hours. He also mentioned that if connector jack and cable not fit, I can change connector jack and cable by myself. Any thoughts!

Do you have link where it come from they might work on plug & play because Korean had lower standard than USA is not enough power to run projector.
Connector should fit.

It's from Korea. It's plug and play. Here is the link: Elantra Hyundai 2011 2012 2013 Headlight R L Projection HID Ballast | eBay

Sorry but the previous link is not the headlight that I want to buy. This is the right one: Projection HID Head Lights Lamp Assembly for 11 12 Hyundai Elantra Avante MD | eBay

I wouldn't be so sure a Korean light is "plug and play" on a US car. I know for others that have pioneered the way they have not been. Lou, do you know if they are plug and play ready for a US car? I seem to remember others that have ordered Korean LED taillights that had to do wiring to get them to work.

You're really planning on spending $1k on headlights though? Edit, make that 1,400 on the new link!?

2nd Edit. Just found some pics of the Eagle Eyes headlights lit up at night in this Ebay post: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hyundai-Elan...#ht_8851wt_806

One seller has these headlights and LED taillights that I know would be plug and play for less than half of the cost of those other headlights. Don't get me wrong, I prefer the other ones better myself, but for the cost I would get the headlight/taillight set and still have several hundred left over for other mods. Good luck with the decision though!

I've asked the seller and she/he said they're finished headlights. All you need to do is assembly them in your car. If the connector jack or cable don't fit, just change them and you're good to go. I might ask them again just to be sure before I make a payment. BTW, the projectors + LED line are totally $1400. Are they worth that amount? The only two things that I worry are about my electrical system and my warranty. If they're just plug and play,I have no problem because if there is one, I'm still able to put the factory back and head to the dealer. Please advise!

alex2006sonata · 02-04-2013, 10:10 PM

I think 1,400 is a steep price, but I really haven't priced them out recently. I think you could get a shop to do a custom install (of HID's and LED's) in your headlights for a fraction of that price. Although I believe the sedan doesn't have projectors is that correct? The GT that I have comes with factory projectors.

If I had to put money down, these headlights would not be plug and play with a US model. Maybe ask the seller for detailed pics of the connectors and then you could tell if they would work with your factory connectors.

I would cancel that, 1) I don't think plug & play will work on USA car need modification , 2) some member buy same kind headlight buy cheaper, 3) my headlight top of the line only $1250

Louiceman,

What modifications do I need to do? Can you provide your car's photos? I'm really curious about it. BTW, where did you get your headlight?
