Hyundai Accent Indicators

Not automatically. The Accent sold in South Africa as X3, LC, MC and RB, and the Accent ran for so long in South Africa that the same name covers four distinct platforms — the change from the Alpha to the Gamma petrol family is the single biggest fitment dividing line. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.

We work backwards from the VIN: generation first, then engine family, then whether the car is pre- or post-facelift within that generation. On the Accent specifically, the Accent ran for so long in South Africa that the same name covers four distinct platforms — the change from the Alpha to the Gamma petrol family is the single biggest fitment dividing line.

The usual Hyundai i10 fault is corrosion inside the indicator stalk contacts. On newer models it is a blown bulb, a dry LED module, or a BCM (body control module) fuse. If hazards still work but indicators do not, the stalk or column switch is the prime suspect.

A single bulb costs R50-R100 at any SA parts counter. A full stalk switch through Pro Hyundai Spares typically runs R750-R2,400 used, plus about an hour of labour. Get a free quote with your VIN.

Disconnect the battery, pop the steering-column shrouds, unplug the stalk harness and undo the single retaining clip. Swap the unit, reconnect and test every stalk function before refitting the shrouds. Airbag work must stay clear.

Hazards use a direct bypass circuit, so they function even when the stalk switch is dead. A working hazard button with dead indicators points squarely at the column stalk or its connector, not the bulbs or the body control module.

Pro Hyundai Spares carries indicator stalks, bulbs, clusters and LED modules for i10, i20, Accent and Creta, with our supplier network as a further source. Send us your VIN for exact-fit matching.
