Here's a picture with measurements of a bulb that will fit.
I ordered the bulb in this link, it's to fat and did NOT fit.

The reason I didn't use H7's like the RCP is the dust cover will not fit back on because the fan sticks out of the housing.

These picture will help you change your bulbs, the driver side is easy, passenger side is pretty tight.

Take a look at this bulb it might fit.

**The cornering lights are H7s? Do we have instructions on how to replace these?
I hysted the pic from @abjbrkt and added the red arrow>. As mentioned, the drivers side is really easy, the passenger side...remove this plug to access the H7 bulb below it, makes it a lot easier. Replace that plug to test your bulb as it powers the entire lighting assembly.

Here is what I used- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FPS35LN
Good luck!

Thanks. I was debating on getting the RCP H7s, just been told they might not fit. I don't really wanna go other lights incase they are not as bright, or are too bright, etc.. did you have a photo with those ones installed? Only other issue is shipping to Canada and USD conversion. Gonna hunt down and see if they sell same brand you guys posted but in Canada.

Didn't want to replace the lights myself - No jack, no really good area to go under car at the house, and I asked Hyundai if I could pay to get them replaced and they basically said they can't replace my fog lights or anything because then it might void my warranty, OR, if I replace my fog lights then my "adaptive lights" will stop, because he is trying to claim my DRLs, my His and Lows, my Fogs AND my cornering lights all turn in direction with the car when I turn the wheel. I swear.. I left Kia due to the dealership being completely useless and ripping me off. Doing half ass jobs, couldn't even put the oil cap back on after a full service... and now I'm dealing with Hyundai who is refusing to work with anything on the car, even when it had 4000 miles on it and having issues.

Had to hunt around the forum for the before\after pic as I guess I deleted it, oops! Anyways...it's about as equally bright as the halogen bulbs I pulled out, I didn't notice much of a difference except I no longer had the attention grabbing yellow light contrasting with the LED headlights when I make tight turns.

Hyundai service- wait...what!?!? The Kona doesn't have "adaptive lights" that turn with the wheel, that's a lie! I've never read anything in the manual about them and no one here has EVER mentioned "adaptive". Guys, have I missed something!?!

And no, upgrading to LED bulbs does not void the warranty. *facepalms*. They just don't want to deal with Amazon bought item installs, I kinda don't blame them.

My sales guy lied to me too, he said Sport Mode "stiffened-up the suspension". I knew better because I read all the specs. I pretty much blew him off after that and just did all my own research.

Ordering these immediately. That's exactly what I need lol. I don't care about brightness.. it's the disgusting yellow that I can't stand seeing when I turn.

Right? He told me how he changed them on his car and his adaptive lights that turn as he turns stopped working. I was like but.. there's only cornering lights as far as I know? lol. Idk.. This is why I can't stand dealers. I have a bad rep with every single one I go to from the sales/parts person. He told me his fog lights were adaptive and turned also, which is why I couldn't replace my lights at all on my car without losing that function lol.

Just gonna go with what I read here and trust. I'll go to a small garage on the side to get the **** installed and done. I don't plan to 'mod' the car beyond just basically looks and minor tweaks to improve it over all so.. whatever.

Service Managers...*facepalm*

Yeah, service managers often don't actually know **** about the cars their dealership is selling. Honestly, if you can get a mechanic to step out of the shop and speak with you, you'll get a much better idea of what\where\when and why they can or cannot do something for you.

When it comes time for the install, take your time and remember the LED bulbs are sometimes reversible, so before you put them back into the headlight housing...test it first! And on the passenger side, there is a headlight housing plug that needs to be disconnected first so you can easily reach the turning light bulb cover.

Mods- definitely do the K&N air filter, its a super easy install and I clean mine every 10k miles or so as I put on a lot of highway miles through farmlands, as I mentioned in another thread.

So here's what I've done so far with my lights (Kona 1.6T not ultimate)

Fog lights: RCP h11 LED with canbus adapter

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01N6LX0JS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

THEY ARE SO BRIGHT HOLY CRAP. Easy to install just pop out the terrible push fasteners, unbolt the 10mm bolts, and just reach in and replace the fog lights. No light alarms. Probably shouldn't use them at night unless you need to

Low beams: Philips Diamond vision h7

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B007JZKBVW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The pigtail for the low beams is also the retention clip so putting in LEDs with the huge butt isn't an option. There's also almost no room in the headlight housing.

High beams: Philips Diamond vision h7

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B007JZKBVW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Have them on order, should be good. Same deal with the pigtails.

Interior lights: eco_zilla kit from ebay

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/For-2018-Hyundai-Kona-WHITE-LED-Interior-Light-Accessories-Replacement-Kit-8-PCS/112802532405?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

on order, don't know how well it will go.

Also ordering some el cheapo halogens from amazon: agptek h7

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B071Z1KSK7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

just to watch the world burn

A note about the philips lights: apparently they may not be legal in your region, idk why. the ultimate kona comes with white LEDs anyway.

Hi @Yoinkerman , This post is a year old, do you still recommending replacing the OEM halogen to the one suggested by you? are you satisfied with them?

The lights look great that have been posted on this forum, was able to replace the low beams through the wheel well and in engine compartment, but really struggling n changing passenger side high beam due to the washer reservoir , it is almost impossible as there is no room to maneuver due to reservoir and not reachable through the wheel well, and advice on how to change passenger side high beam bulb? Do I need to remove washer reservoir, and how? Or will I need to remove entire headlight assembly and also how would I do that? Any advice is seriously greatly appreciated, thank you

I have a 2019 SEL, thanks again!

I want to put LEDs in my interior lights. Manual says they are festoon, they are not, they are push bulb, so can anyone tell me what the **** they are,
( 2) I want to change the push to pass signal from 3 flashes to seven, and change the auto locking to speed setting instead of the way it is now which it locks as soon as you put the car in gear. The manual says I can change these settings in the driver assistance settings, but I don't seem to have that option. My car is a 2022 Kona N line ultimate.

Thanks, Pat.

Do they look like these?
I use them in our US spec 2018 limited.
Also use them in our Cherokee, they're pretty universal.
They're not canbus bulbs, don't need can bus for most applications.

Found out how to change the settings for the auto lock and push to signal settings. I went to the dealer. Even the sales manager had a hard time finding these settings. The user manual is less than specific on finding these settings.

Check out lasfit, they have a whole package to swap out all the bulbs or just the ones you want to. Good resource for the bulb types too. I did their led headlight and those suckers are sweet! I can see the deer or elk before I would hit it ;)
