Hyundai Elantra: Bulb wattage

Bulb wattage specifications ensure that every light on your Hyundai Elantra operates at its designed brightness and efficiency. Installing bulbs with incorrect wattage can result in reduced visibility, potential overheating, or even electrical damage. Knowing the correct values for each exterior and interior bulb is important for both safety and longevity. Higher-wattage bulbs don’t necessarily mean better performance and may exceed the system’s capacity. These details are also useful when upgrading to LED or HID options, which often require adapters or relays. Choosing the right wattage helps preserve the headlight housings and wiring. Always refer to the manual or bulb label before making changes. A simple bulb replacement should enhance—not risk—driving visibility.
