2017 Hyundai Elantra Headlight Bulb Size
The 2017 Elantra surprised the compact car world with an available 1.6-liter turbo Sport trim that offered a six-speed manual or dual-clutch transmission, along with the new Elantra GT hatchback that expanded the lineup beyond the traditional sedan. The 2017 Hyundai Elantra headlight bulb size is H11 for the low beams, 9005 for the high beams, and H11 for the fog lights. Factory halogen output on SE and base trims was adequate for 2017 standards but falls short of what modern LED technology can deliver.
Switching to 2017 Hyundai Elantra LED headlights transforms the warm-yellow halogen glow into a crisp white beam that fills the road ahead. Whether you opted for the spirited Sport or the practical value trim, an LED upgrade from HID Nation brings your Elantra's lighting into the current era with free shipping and a lifetime warranty on every kit.
Best LED Headlight Upgrade for the 2017 Elantra
The 2017 Elantra's reflector-style headlight housings respond well to LED conversion because the bulb geometry closely mirrors the halogen filament position. A direct-fit H11 LED kit produces a focused 6000K white beam pattern with solid cutoff, giving you significantly more road coverage than the stock halogen bulbs delivered. Both sedan and GT hatchback variants share the same H11 low beam housing, so one kit covers the entire 2017 Elantra range.
If maximum beam distance is your goal, an HID xenon conversion kit provides the densest light output available. Each side requires a compact ballast, and there is a brief warm-up cycle before full brightness, but the resulting throw distance on unlit roads is hard to match. HID suits Elantra owners who regularly drive rural highways or poorly lit commuter routes.
Every HID Nation kit ships free and includes a lifetime warranty, so if a bulb or driver ever fails, we replace it at no cost for as long as you own the vehicle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 2017 Hyundai Elantra headlight bulb size?
The 2017 Hyundai Elantra uses H11 bulbs for the low beams, 9005 (HB3) bulbs for the high beams, and H11 bulbs for the fog lights. SE trims came with halogen reflector headlights, while upper trims like the Limited offered LED daytime running lights. The H11 low beam size applies across all trims including the Sport and GT models.
Does the 2017 Elantra Sport use different headlight bulbs than the sedan?
No. The 2017 Elantra Sport shares the same H11 low beam, 9005 high beam, and H11 fog light bulb sizes as the standard Elantra sedan and GT hatchback. The Sport's 1.6T powertrain does not change the lighting hardware, so all LED and HID conversion kits that fit the base Elantra will also fit the Sport without any modification.
Are 2017 Hyundai Elantra LED headlights difficult to install?
Not at all. The 2017 Elantra provides generous access behind the headlight housing from the engine bay. Twist the existing H11 bulb socket a quarter turn counterclockwise, remove the old halogen, insert the LED replacement, and lock the socket back in place. Most owners complete both sides in 20 to 30 minutes without removing any engine bay components.
Will LED headlights cause a dashboard warning on the 2017 Elantra?
The 2017 Elantra does not use a CANBUS headlight monitoring system on halogen-equipped trims, so plug-and-play LED bulbs will not trigger a bulb-out warning or cause flickering. The H11 LED replacement draws a comparable load to the factory halogen, and the Elantra's body control module accepts it without issue.
What fog light bulb does the 2017 Hyundai Elantra use?
The 2017 Hyundai Elantra uses H11 bulbs in the front fog lights on trims equipped with them. An LED fog light upgrade provides a whiter, more defined beam that cuts through rain, fog, and snow more effectively than the factory halogen. Installation mirrors the headlight swap and takes only a few minutes per side.
