HID do not work in a 2016. Maybe someone has a kit that worked, mine did not!
I know how to install them, put a kit into my 2014 Turbo Sonata. Worked perfectly, no issues.
Silly to put HID into the fog lights. Big install hassle. LED's work perfectly and are a 3 minute install. Put out just as much light.

H11 kit is the same as H7 LED kit, just a different plastic tab ring. There are no issues with the LED's I have tried. I REALLY like the Sirius S3 and JDMAstar LED's, but they do not appear to make an H7 in the newest models. So I went with the MaX5, which works PERFECTLY and is a simple install.
I would not bother with HID headlights in this car. The lenses are not know to work well with HID, and you risk a $2000 hit if you blow out the LED eyebrows.

 

Thanks, yea I'm wanting to get leds after seeing your thread.

I jumped the gun and ordered the h7 adapter rings before I realized you had a 2019 model haha.

Since the plastic ring is different, it's a different kit, so I'll be ordering an h11 kit.

I don't plan to put HIDs in my fogs, I only included that above since there seems to be several posts about it. I plan to go with led for low beam and fogs.

Canada here too with a 2019 EX.

I guess ZXE are the best option for the 9005 DRL/High Beams. But I would like to get rid of the yellowish DRL.

Regarding the H7 low beams, we can’t get those Max5 leds cause they don’t ship in Canada.

 

USA here with a 2019 SX -- I got H7 for mine and had to buy H7 Adapters from Amazon so that the bulbs would fit properly.

 

Could you put in some links. We have a 2016 SX-L and a few LED bulbs I have looked at thus far have said do not buy if you have a 2016 SX because they won't fit. The halogens in this vehicle suck. Ant help would be appreciated. Thank you.

 

Thanks for the input everyone, but I'm hoping for some feedback from those who own 2016-2018 model years, as there's already another thread confirming what works on the 2019 models.

It's the only reason I haven't already made the LED switch. I'm going to have to get in ahead of the ballast for the HID and still keep the bus sensing happy. Simply paralleling the LED bulbs across the ballast LV iinpts, leaving the ballasts in place with no output, may not be sufficient if we get into a 'bad bulb' report. I need to dig more deeply into how current sensing is employed to determine good/bad bulb to assure that we're in the ballpark with the parallel system in place. Alternately, it might be interesting to see what the system thinks of removing the ballasts and just running the LEDs solo off the LV input for the ballasts.

 

The MaX5 say they are 40 watt. That should be enough to satisfy the sensing. HID are 35 watt (usually).

 

Someone, ship me this to Canada! Haha

 

? I need to go back and look at what that package offered. Sorry. Was sure your Limited included them by default.

 

I'm pretty sure they came with the technology package that also hade the LKA and the crash avoidance stuff. They are pretty weak and yellow. I wa driving it the other night and it was cazy how dim they are compaed to the stinger's LEDs. Also it looks weird with the headlights being yellow and the fogs being white.

 

Also if they are 3+ years old they are near end of life and will indeed get dimmer. You can replace with premium bulbs, but highly recommend LED>
Just take off the dust cover and look inside. Regular H11 are pretty obvious.

 

I've ordered the LED bulbs i linked in my first post (from Amazon.ca), should arrive tomorrow thanks to Prime. I'll take photos this weekend. I'll likely just install both and then drive out at night and take photos of the projectors against a wall so we can see how they perform.

Thanks for your incoming feedback!

 

Hi everyone, I just updated the original post with photos.

I'm blown away! Much brighter, cut off is sharper, hot spot is spread out vs halogen bulbs. I took it for a test drive and love it!

I'm a headlight projector fan, I've retro fitted/modded several vehicles and bike in the past, so I was looking for a great upgrade to these halogen projectors without breaking warranty (ie swapping projector or lenses) and am glad I found this. I hope the bulbs last at least a year haha.

Here is a photo with the passenger side LED bulb and the driver side halogen. Hard to tell in photo but it is much brighter and the cut off line is much sharp vs the halogen's fuzzy cut off.

I just put the Max5's in ours and much brighter white light than stock halogens. Does anyone make the LED's for the bights too? I had ordered the MAx5's H7 size at first which is the correct bulb for the brights but they wouldn't fit into the housing.

 

Congrats on a good install. There are many different brands, I am sure most of them work pretty well. Way better than halogen.
