How to replace or upgrade the headlight bulbs in a Hyundai Ioniq EV 2016-2019

The Hyundai Ioniq Electric 28kWh has either a type A or type B headlight. The type A headlight has both halogen low and high beams. The type B has LED low beam and a halogen high beam. In the UK, all Ioniq Electrics get the type B headlight. So the only bulb you can change is the high beam bulb. The bulb is a 9005HL+ 60W, which is more commonly referred to as a HB3 in the UK. The “HL+” means it is a long life bulb, which means the light output isn’t the best. You can upgrade this by fitting a higher output bulb, but while still keeping it a halogen 60W bulb. One of the best is the Osram Night Breaker Laser bulbs.
You can buy them on Amazon here https://amzn.to/3XyaE1R

The light output of these bulbs will be noticeably better than the original long life bulbs.
I’ve made videos in the past on these, when I used them in my MG ZS EV, see https://youtu.be/7nB2iznQjWk and https://youtu.be/0YbRezOHIso.

The lamps in the 2020 Kona are dreadful too. Probably look at LED replacements though of the whole array than switching the bulbs

Can you do video on adjusting the angle of high beam and daytime running lights please?

Hated the yellow Halogen High Beam Light on my Ioniq electric. Bought a pair of Novsight HB3 LEDs, and I love them, highly recommended! Of course not legal, but imho for High Beams no problem.

The original bulbs I took out of mine were Sylvania branded. The adjustment of the main beam is worth looking at too – they appear to tend to be adjusted 'too high'.

Dave McLoughlin says:

That was really useful as I was only saying that I was a little disappointed with the lights at night. Now I know why and how to fix it. Cheers

Thankfully a lot easier than on some of Hyundai ICE cars
