Hyundai i20 Taillights
Taillights to suit the Hyundai i20, cross-referenced against OEM specification and dispatched countrywide
What Are Hyundai i20 Taillights?
Taillights are the rear cluster housings containing brake, running, indicator and reverse lamps, with LED units on newer Hyundais and bulb-based units on older models. On i20, Accent, Tucson and Creta models we see moisture ingress, corroded bulb sockets and full LED cluster failures where only replacement works.
Signs You Need New Taillights
i20 generations and taillights — the short version
i20 owners are usually surprised by how much turns on the generation code — PB, then GB, then the current BC3 all sold here.The PB and GB are different cars underneath despite the shared badge, so a part listed simply as "i20" is not automatically the right one — the generation code decides it.
Engine families fitted to the SA-market i20:
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 taillights against your car before anything is dispatched.
In South Africa the i20 is mostly a high-mileage commuter hatch that spends its life in stop-start city traffic, which is why wear items move faster on an i20 than on almost anything else Hyundai sells here. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai i20 Taillights — Questions We Get Asked
Will taillights from another i20 fit mine?
Not automatically. The i20 sold in South Africa as PB, then GB, then the current BC3, and the PB and GB are different cars underneath despite the shared badge, so a part listed simply as "i20" is not automatically the right one — the generation code decides it. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
Which engines did the South African i20 come with?
SA-market cars ran Kappa 1.2, Gamma 1.4, Kappa 1.0 T-GDi (N Line). The code stamped on the block is what we work from — the badge on the boot is not reliable on its own.
Which taillight does my Hyundai take?
Facelift is the question that matters, not left-hand drive versus right-hand drive — taillights are unaffected by which side the steering wheel is on, but part numbers change at a facelift within a single generation, and LED clusters differ from bulb ones again. The VIN settles it in one step.
What does a replacement Hyundai taillight cost?
Used clusters from SA strippers are a fraction of new OEM pricing — sometimes a tenth of it. Request a free quote with your model, year and body style, and tell us which side. Body style matters more than people expect: a hatch and a sedan of the same model do not share rear clusters.
There is water inside my taillight. What now?
Either the lens-to-body gasket has perished or a vent tube is blocked. Light misting that clears in sunshine is normal; standing water in the bottom of the lens is not. Deal with it rather than living with it — sitting water corrodes the sockets and the circuit board, which turns a gasket into a whole cluster.
Can an LED taillight be repaired?
Mostly no. Hyundai LED clusters are sealed units with LEDs that are not individually replaceable, so dead pixels usually mean a full cluster. A handful of specialists rebuild LED boards on newer cars, but by the time you have paid the labour you are often at the price of a good used cluster anyway.
Tail lights are dead but the brake lights work. Why?
Those are separate circuits, which is what the symptom is telling you. It is nearly always a poor earth or a corroded socket on the running-light pin, or a blown fuse on that circuit alone. We check the earth point behind the trim panel first — a dirty earth is the most common rear-lighting fault we see on these cars.
