What Are Hyundai i10 Lighting?
Lighting covers headlamps, tail lamps, fog lamps, indicators and the cabin lighting, and on a Hyundai the specification is set by the trim level rather than the model. Halogen, projector and LED units were fitted across the same cars, and they are not interchangeable — swapping between them takes the loom and control gear behind the lamp, not just the lamp. Facelift units generally will not go into a pre-facelift body either, because the surrounding panels changed with them.
Locally, the two things that finish a headlamp are UV and gravel. Sun exposure clouds the lens until the beam pattern is a suggestion rather than a pattern, and stone chips off unsealed roads do the rest. Both are roadworthy issues as well as safety ones. When ordering, tell us the side, the generation, and whether yours is halogen, projector or LED — and if you can, send a photograph of the existing unit. It settles the question faster than any description of it will.
Signs You Need New Lighting
SA-Market i10 Derivatives We Supply Lighting For
The i10 reached South Africa as PA, then the Grand i10 BA, then AI3, running Epsilon 1.1 (PA), Kappa 1.25 (Grand i10) and Kappa 1.2 (AI3). Lighting fitment splits on the generation code long before it splits on trim, and again between petrol and CRDi diesel derivatives. The original PA i10 and the later Grand i10 are separate platforms with separate parts catalogues — "i10" on its own is not enough to order from. Find your derivative below, then send the code from your VIN plate with your enquiry.
- Hyundai i10 PA 1.1 GLS
- Hyundai i10 BA Grand i10 1.25 Motion
- Hyundai i10 BA Grand i10 1.25 Fluid
- Hyundai i10 AI3 1.2 Motion
Sourcing note: the i10 shares the Kappa petrol family with the Kia Picanto, which gives us a second place to look when local stock runs dry.
Before you order lighting for a i10
i10 owners are usually surprised by how much turns on the generation code — PA, then the Grand i10 BA, then AI3 all sold here.The original PA i10 and the later Grand i10 are separate platforms with separate parts catalogues — "i10" on its own is not enough to order from.
Engine families fitted to the SA-market i10:
Halogen, projector and LED derivatives of the same Hyundai lamp are not interchangeable, and facelift lamps generally will not fit a pre-facelift body without the surrounding panels.
Send us the side, the generation, and a photo of the existing unit if you have one with your enquiry and we will confirm the correct lighting against your car before anything is dispatched.
In South Africa the i10 is mostly first cars, driving-school fleets and short-hop city work, so components see far more cold starts per thousand kilometres than the odometer suggests. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai i10 Lighting — Questions We Get Asked
Does lighting fitment change across i10 generations?
Yes, and it is the first thing we check. The i10 sold here as PA, then the Grand i10 BA, then AI3, and the original PA i10 and the later Grand i10 are separate platforms with separate parts catalogues — "i10" on its own is not enough to order from. Give us the generation code and the rest follows quickly.
Which i10 engines were sold in South Africa?
Epsilon 1.1 (PA), Kappa 1.25 (Grand i10) and Kappa 1.2 (AI3). Lighting fitment often follows the engine family rather than the model name, so the code on the block is worth reading before you order.
How do I turn on the lights in my Hyundai?
Locate the rotary light control switch on your dashboard, typically on the left side near the steering column. Turn it to the first position for sidelights, second position for dipped headlights, or set to AUTO for automatic light activation based on ambient conditions. The green light symbol on your dashboard confirms activation.
Are LED headlights legal in South Africa?
Yes, LED headlights are legal in South Africa provided they are factory-fitted or professionally installed aftermarket units that meet SABS standards and are correctly aimed to avoid blinding oncoming traffic. Retrofitting non-compliant LED bulbs into halogen housings is illegal and will result in roadworthy test failure. Genuine Hyundai LED upgrades cost between R3,500-R7,500 per unit.
What does the warning light mean on my Hyundai?
A bulb failure warning light (exclamation mark inside a bulb symbol) indicates one or more exterior lights have failed. Check all headlights, tail lights, brake lights and indicators immediately. In newer Hyundai models, the touchscreen display specifies which bulb has failed, making diagnosis easier before your next trip.
How much does it cost to replace a Hyundai headlight bulb in South Africa?
Halogen bulbs for models like the i20 or Accent cost R150-R450 per bulb, while H7 or H4 performance bulbs range from R300-R650. Complete headlight assemblies for accidents or cracked lenses cost R2,600-R6,800 depending on the model. Labour at Hyundai dealerships adds R400-R850 to the total.
Can I drive with a broken tail light in South Africa?
No, driving with non-functional tail lights or brake lights is illegal under South African traffic regulations and poses serious safety risks, especially during load shedding hours when street lighting is affected. You face fines up to R1,500 and your vehicle will fail its roadworthy test. Replace faulty bulbs immediately—most cost under R200.
