2022 Hyundai Elantra N LED Turn Signals and Reverse Lights Guide DIY (No bumper removal)

[@dequardo]

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate these videos. I would have never attempted the backup light replacement without this. Major props sir. Based on input I avoided doing the turn signals.

[@JasonYergin]

Great vid, man. I like that it was to the point yet not too drawn out. Good info for anybody doing this

[@ENtense]

Appreciate the kind words Jason!

[@JasonYergin]

@@ENtense Of course, dude. Keep up the good stuff 🤘😎

[@manlodic]

Great video. You are doing the EN community a service, I thank you.

[@ENtense]

Appreciate the kind words 🙏🏻. Glad to help in any way I can!

[@justincampos9942]

Thank you! I changed these on my 2023 Hyundai Elantra and I love them they really make the car pop out I even changed the license plate bulbs to LED recommend these bulbs

[@MrKoloHU]

Great video, thank you for sharing and producing easy step-by-step instructions. The one comment I'd like to make is that when you put the front housing for the front signal light is that the arrow has to point down toward the ground, at least in my 22 EN it did.

[@tyebackus6671]

To take out i seen that you can tap the screws from inside the trunk also...

[@mskiller]

Thanks for the vid! Was able to install all 3 along with the rear 3rd brake light. One issue: the front Lasfit lights after about 3-4 min of emergency blinking, will start to blink weirdly and flash out of sync, clearly overheating. Should try turning your emergency blinkers on for more than 3 minutes and test this yourself! I'd try to find another.

[@MrBurna1]

Really good video, helped me out alot. I did find that installing the front signals, you can take the push pins out of the front deck and pry back on the plastic to get a better view and better access to the front bulbs. Thanks for the info.

[@forbidinjustice]

I watched this video last June when I got my EN and these light fixtures were such a pain in the ass, I put the project down for 9 months before I tried again. Ended up threading a very thin nylon rope around the inside of the top-corner of the fixture, grabbing the other side of the fixture with my hand (gloves on, of course), and pulled straight out. Couldn't get a grip on the outside of the fixture otherwise. Took some force, but it worked. I definitely masked off the paint on the outside of the fixtures first, too. Wasn't taking any chances.

[@jasenrodriguez9217]

Was super stoked to finally have the full LED bulbs (inside and out) collection ready to swap as of a few days ago. I went with the exact line up you showed Brad and kept your vids handy as they are the best for this mod. U were spot on with the particular bulbs that were the bitch of the bunch, especially the rear turn signals. Took 10 minutes to wiggle first off n 3X that for the 2nd for some reason. F those to hell! I had to swap methods tho as your ‘pushing away’ technique had me sliding too much so I opted for the pull/wiggle action. Dunno if was better or worse but I know I ain’t doin it ever again…screw that.😉 The front turn signals were my last and definitely the drivers side is easier. I discovered the pulling out of the pins and pulling back the black plastic above helped with the visual n little extra light coming in. Part of me wishes I filmed my struggles to show how irksome the design is for changing out what any person should be able to easily do considering what it is, a dumb bulb. There’s no excuse why so many of these were incredibly difficult for even seasoned tinkering car owners. Appreciate the vids as always Brad, curious for future content, and always tuned it when ya drop em.✌🏽🤙🏽

[@ENtense]

The rear turn signals were absolutely one of the worst bulbs I’ve ever had to change in my life lol. I hope my videos helped make your experience at least a little bit easier though. Thanks for the comment and for watching!

[@jasenrodriguez9217]

@@ENtense definitely appreciate your efforts for the rest of us to utilize and guide in our own.🤘🏽

[@shakennotstirred32]

If anyone is wondering the rear brakes are (2) 1157 and the high stop is (1) 1156 and use red for obvious reasons. I used the new T3 model Lasfit and they look and work flawless for my 2023 hybrid blue. I think this should be done at the same time as changing the turn lights however the easier way to remove the tail lights is the take the two fasteners on each inside of the trunk to access the two 10mm bolts and hit them with a rubber mallet until they break free instead of wiggling them out. This will save you a boat load of time and a lot of the neighbors wondering why you swear like a retired sailor that drives a truck

[@sirdies5109]

Your videos are great seen a few of them and have done all my lights inside and out except the rear brake lights. I would like to share an easier way I was able to remove the rear housing to change the turn signal. I used 2” painters tape. I layered about 10 strips about 20 inches in length one on top of the other. I placed the tape along the upper horizontal line of the housing starting at the furthest part forward. The remaining tape i just folded in half along the length, which I used to tug not so much pull. After about 2 or 3 tugs I removed it in a few seconds. A shame I didn’t think about before I took about 40 min to get the first one off. I can send you a pic to show how I placed the tape.

[@CossittRules]

Not sure if it is a Canadian thing or a 2023 model thing, but the arrow was pointing down on my EN. The driver side was much easier to access than the passenger side as well.

[@dwayneshmel2591]

Arrow was pointing down on my 2021 SEL as well.

[@sirdies5109]

I have a 2023 Elantra N Line and mine were also pointing down

[@smileismild3095]

Which way do you have to rotate it? I tried today but failed and it was too cold. It was on there very tight

[@Ryan_NThusiast]

You didn’t need resistors for the turn signals?

[@flcl_tx]

Getting ready to change out my bulbs today. Hoping I'll be able to not need to take of my bumper, also

[@nxte.b]

Sorry, im a noob, Is it a singular bulb for both turn and brake lights?

[@iangranados4899]

Is it possible to move adjust that yellow sensor wire cable near the front passenger side turn signal ?

[@jairbarrer]

Great video!! I noticed you also have LED brake lights. Did you add those as well or were they already assembled? If you added them yourself, what bulb did you use? Thanks a lot!

[@ENtense]

The brake lights are stock 👍🏻

[@greekgino68]

I know this is probably an older video but I just got a 2022 Hyundai ELANTRA ultimate tech here in Canada. I want to get the front Training signals done with the last fit but can you let me know how they’re going so far? Has there any errors come up orhyper flashing happened since you installed them

[@CFJONROJAS]

Are they still working? Just curious

[@MrCheesypuf]

Just a warning, these are BRIGHT. They work great so far though. When doing the rear lights, put painters tape at the bottom of the light. I have a small ding of paint removed. Put tape on the second one and it didn’t damage anything at all.

[@gophertv]

Hey, i was looking to to led front turn signals and stumbled upon a thing called switchback turn signals. Would those look good and or work on the car?

[@shakennotstirred32]

great video! I have a hybrid blue trim and I was wondering why you didn't do the brake lights (1157), high stop (1156), and rear parking (194) in LED?

[@dylanbrown-duso71]

the brake lights are already LED

[@shakennotstirred32]

Surprisingly the blue trim isn’t

[@Littlekill593]

Did you happen to get the check turn signals warning light on the dash? Or any hyper flashing with the bulbs you installed?

[@ENtense]

I’ve had 0 issues with all the bulbs I replaced. No warning lights and no hyper flashing.

[@Littlekill593]

@@ENtense sweet thank you!

[@Hana2736_]

Great tutorial, quick question for ya. If you have your 4 ways or turn signal on for a long time (upwards of a couple minutes) does the light begin to behave strangely? The LED turn signals I bought for my Altima would overheat after a while and cause hyperflash, and I don't want the same thing again

[@ENtense]

Thank you! And that’s a great question, I haven’t attempted that, but I’ll try to get around to doing that as a test and I’ll let you know the results!

[@jamesc5256]

It happens if you used over watts than your vehicles standard

[@CorgiTheFirst]

I know I’m a month late but yes I can confirm after install mine on my EN, when putting my 4 ways on after a minute or so I get “check turn signal” alert rapidly. Is that over heating ?

[@Breadpoole]

Curious, why did you use two different brands for front vs rear turn signals? Are they different type of bulbs?

[@ENtense]

Cost mostly. Plus I did some research on what others had used on theirs, to confirm they worked before purchasing.

[@Breadpoole]

@@ENtense so I could use 4 of the same bulbs then? And they all have resistors in them so the timing is correct?

[@ENtense]

@@Breadpoole all 3 bulbs are different. Rear turn signals are PY21W, front turn signals are 1157, and the reverse lights are 921.

[@ameliaaguirre2503]

does this work on a 2022 elantra SE? like the bulbs

[@kwillee93]

I would love to know if it’s possible to do anything about the third brake light

[@ENtense]

It can definitely be replaced

[@luciferwheeler2045]

Don’t you have to disconnect the battery first?

[@mosesm1295]

Great video , very informative video. I have a hyundai elantra SEL 2022 and for some reason i looked up the links for the LEDs and amazon says “not compatible” despite it looking the same. should i still buy them ?

[@ENtense]

Said the same for me, you’ll be good 👌🏻

[@LeafyCEE]

I hope you’re good too. I just bought some front and rear ones and the front ones didn’t have the right pin connector pattern so the front didn’t fit even tho it said it would. And as far as the back idk yet because I can’t get the housing off

[@rith2757]

one more thing, do all of the bulbs need to be Canbus fitted or just the front turn signals? I was watching some places and it says that they need to be, but idk.

[@christolley7628]

Hey man are the rear leds BA15S?

[@arczi.p5217]

Hi can you please tell me is this ked bulbs still working after 6 months ? Thank you

[@ENtense]

Working great still 👍🏻

[@unexplainedwearenotalone3537]

Ty alot man great info thanks to shared us ur beast.

[@ENtense]

Glad to help!

[@Esskay57YT]

The brake lights looks also to be LED, did you buy separate bulbs for the brake lights? Or its included in the N model?

[@ENtense]

Brake lights are stock 👍🏻

[@rith2757]

I have a 2023 elantra hybrid. For some reason, they downgraded from 2022 to 2023 and removed the LED brake lights. Do you know any reliable bulbs for that or what I should be looking for? I plan to use the same bulbs for the turn signals and reverse lights that u used but need some assistance for the brake lights. pls lmk, thx

[@ronburgundy4375]

For the price of this car the ambient lighting should be in the doors illuminated door sills should be a thing and definitely led everything

[@George-qw8ss]

Would live to put some fog lamps on... but where on that bumper

[@mdkflip7231]

@ENtense how are these bulbs holding up? Any of them burn out on you? Looking to get some myself and want to make sure they’re reliable

[@ENtense]

I’ve had 0 issues so far 😃

[@CKDESIGNS]

Does this combo of bulbs set off any warnings after hazard flash left on for a few minutes? I know if you use both lasfit brand it will.

[@CKDESIGNS]

Oh okay….

[@Joe_Av]

Great vid! Thanks for all the info. I also watched your vid on the interior LED lights swap. Question though. Are all the bulbs you used and steps for installing them the same for an Elantra Limited? That's what I'm getting so just wanted to ask before ordering the bulbs. Thanks for any info you can give me!

[@ENtense]

I would assume I’d the light assemblies are the same, then the bulbs should be too. As long as it’s a ‘21 or newer it should be fine. Thanks for the kind words!

[@Joe_Av]

@@ENtense Yes, it's a 2022. Actually a surprise graduation gift for my son!

[@ENtense]

@@Joe_Av that’s awesome! And yes i would have to assume they’d all be the same. If you do the rear turn signals, be VERY careful. Honestly I’d recommend putting a few layers of painters tape all around the taillight assembly as well to be safe. Let me know if you ever have any questions in the future!

[@Joe_Av]

@@ENtense Thanks again for all the info and tips! I'm not very handy but I think these I could handle. Well all except the front turn signals, afraid I may have to pull the bumper and not sure if I'm willing to tackle that! By the way you gained another subscriber!! Looking forward to more of your vids!

[@WC4WCRN]

Was you happy with the LED reverse lights. Just got a 23 Elantra and I'm basically blind backing up. Very little light.

[@nikkimilam1001]

I have the 23 limited and swapped to LED reverse lights and they work so much better than original! I recommend the swap 💯

[@johnmiabryant1405]

I just purchased a 2023 Elantra limited hybrid. Will these lights work for my car?

[@johnmiabryant1405]

Answering my own question as I just installed these lights and they indeed work perfectly for the 2023 Hyundai Elantra limited hybrid, and any trim levels of the 2021-2023 Elantra's.

[@timothynettles8849]

What size rear bulbs did you use I followed the link but there are a bunch of different sizes of bulb

[@ENtense]

The links should take you directly the ones I used, which ones are you having trouble with?

[@aidanmcgregor8789]

Hey man, did you have any issues on the dash saying that the bulbs were out? I have a non N elantra with halogen brake lights. I put led bulbs in, but on the dash came up with a warning to check the brake lights.

[@zx-3948]

The bulbs themselves need to specifically work with the CANbus system, which simply put monitors the lights and checks for errors, and since LEDs use less power, this triggers errors. Not all LED bulbs will work with CANbus, try to find some that specify they work with it

[@aidanmcgregor8789]

@@zx-3948 thanks, I’ve since found that out.

[@ripleylee5726]

Hi, I need help I realized after installing the rear turn signal lights is way too bright. And I feel bad everytime I have to turn and the car behind have to suffer from my LED signal lights. Any idea how I can reduce the brightness? Thanks in advance

Check out one of my most recent videos, I installed tint for mine from Badgeskins, it tones them down a bit :)

[@ripleylee5726]

@@ENtense saw it thanks a lot!

[@LeftenantMalachi]

I will do the fronts when my car arrives, the rear... man, I'm so afraid of scratching the paint. We'll see. Can you use needle nose plyers to remove the front bumps instead of a vice grip?

[@ENtense]

Yes needle nose should work fine. And for those rear turn signal bulbs I would recommend using painters tape all around the edges of the taillight housing prior to removing it to be safe.

[@jmarv615]

The owners manual states that the front turn signals are PY21W's, when in fact they are 2357's. Seems that the manual is wrong.

[@dantheman359]

The front turn signals don’t have connections going to them?

[@ENtense]

No wires just the socket

[@operationgetthugs232]

Bayonet or screw-in?

[@laytoncampbell5484]

Does bulb replacement void the warranty?

[@ENtense]

No you’ll be fine

[@jackwong93]

Where are you located.

[@SaaDon.]

Good job

[@Roondog1]

Nice vid but personally I dont see the point of changing the stock bulbs. They work just fine. Unless theres a reason other than it being brighter, like the stock ones causing alot of heat and going bad often

[@BrokenAdam770]

Brand new car but still uses incandescent bulbs for the turn signals, license plate and reverse lights. Shame on Hyundai.

[@satinder4367]

I agree shame on Toyota and Lexus too they cost so much more yet they still use incandescent rear turn signals and reverse light and some of them with break lights

[@NPazdernik]

Especially on the top of the line Elantra

[@whiteeagleforce2.040]

Bout 2024 elantra limited. Shit still uses regular bulb light for brake, reverse, turn signal, and license plate. Smh. Even the Elantra N which is the highest trim has the same bs.

[@traciealba7659]

I purchased these exact rear turn signals for my 21 Elantra. These bulbs are extremely bright! Almost too bright. I’m considering changing them out. Not sure if it’s more of a liability or makes it safer. Anyone else have this issue with the brightness of these bulbs?

They are indeed very bright. Can’t say anyone has had an issue with them though.
