Hyundai Azera Lighting
Hi,
My first post here...found this board while googling.
I have HID lights installed on my Azera. I would love to put a picture here but haven't got the slightest clue how to.
If someone could help I'd be happy to do so.
BTW. absolutely love my Azera! :shades:
Kind regards,

The yellow reflection is from the lights bouncing of my wooden fence which is about 2 feet away from the front end.
Hope you enjoy the pictures. I am thrilled to death with the brightness of the HID kit that I installed.
Regards
All you would do is install an amber bulb so it would still flash yellow!
Did you install the HID's yourself???
I agree that it would look better with the clear headlights but not for now anyways...
and yes I did install them myself. It's very easy to do the installation part of it...the hard part is finding where to place the ballast and starter.
You have HID's installed too?
Do you like'em too?
Regards,
I definitely like 'em!
Facing the car on the left side I tie-wraped the whole assembly to the windshield washer tube and on the right side I tie-wraped it very close around some cable.
Sorry I couldn't be more explicit but if I have to I can take pictures and upload it.
Get'em you won't regret it.
I find myself driving at night with the kids not only for the ride comfort and the enjoyment of riding my Azera but to also go to dark places just to enjoy the brightness of the bulbs!
Regards,
So, my question is, what type of modification would I need to do to my Azera to get rid of the cut off problem? It also seems that the lights on dim just don't project out very far.
If I'm asking this in the wrong thread, let me know....
Thank you in advance for your help!

There have been several posts in the Azera 2006+ forum about the cut off problem for the headlights. I've read some that said they changed bulbs and the problem went away. Changing to the HID system would seem to be another answer as you're changing the type of light being used altogether.
Personally...I haven't noticed a cut off problem with mine, but...I also live in a metro area where there's a lot of street lights.
If money is a concern, maybe you should try changing to a different bulb and see if that solves your problem. I'm pretty sure that Sergio will chime in and let you know if he has the cut off problem with his newly installed HID's.
Good luck!
I have to be honest...the cutoff is a pain in the [non-permissible content removed]. I have complained to the dealer about it and have asked them to raise the lights a little and they refused cause of security reasons. I told them that it's MY security!
There's a BMW dealer right next door from them and they all play hockey together and BMW has had ALOT of complaints about their cars equiped with HID's.
I will probably find another source who will do it for me. There's nothing you can do about the cutoff no matter what bulbs you put in. The cutoff is inside the housing and cannot be changed I beleive.
Maybe I'll take a picture of the beams projecting off a wall and upload it here one day.
With the HID kits the cutoff is more pronounced.
I'm sure once the lights are raised it WON'T be an issue anymore so I'm not to worried about it all that much. They are extremely bright!
I have driven in very dark areas and with the high beans on the visibility is very good.
I live in the greater Montreal area and bought them in Laval on the North Shore. I bought Helios H7 6000K kit. I paid $420.00 tax in canadian funds. I was told that Helios are a very good brand for HID's. It is very easy to install, the hard part is finding where to place the starter and ballasts.
Let me see what I can do regarding some pictures.
Regards,
I have PIAA replacement bulbs and would like to raise the low beam pattern a bit.
Any help is appreciated. Pics are a big plus.
My 6000K HID kit does definately have a blue tint.
I did want a little blue but I was mostly interessted in output (lumens) intensity. They suggested I go with the 6000K because they are bright and also have a little blue tint.
Hope things work out for you.

Sergio, mind taking some pics of your installation, I should be getting the HID on Tuesday and would like to install them right away. Thank you.
How did the installation go?
I don't think it was to hard correct?
I'm sorry I didn't have time to post some pics of my installation. I was gone all week...sorry.
Regards,
I am looking at both a Phillips kit and a McCulloch. Was told both were excellent kits.
Thanks
I got the 4300K H7 kit. They come with a standard 3 year warranty but for an additional $29.99 you can get 2 more years for a total of 5 years. I worked out a deal with the seller and got em for less than $220. Also, it came with the harness relay which I used for the installation. I just hope the company doesn't go bankrupcy on me within 5 years.
BTW, I got my HID 5 days after sending payment via Paypal.
I went with Narva Rangefinder+50 bulbs bought from Daniel Stern lighting. They are German made and made a big difference in the Azzie. The website was very helpful.
Looks like $189 plus shipping...can't wait to see the difference in my 07 Sonata Limited!
Wish I could be more like you guys..you know rich and all
Definetely go for the 4300k for brightness. 6000k will give u blue tint and less brightness guarantee. If I were you, I'd contact the seller and offer him a reasonable lower price. Email me @ eclaixp@yahoo.com if you want more details. Don't want to post prices in forums.
All 2006's came with full size spare mounted on same wheel as is on 4 other wheels
Recently I had installed HIDs on my Azera SE: refer to post # 23.
There's something I don't like about the headlights. They seem to be misaligned? When I stand and crouch in front of the center of the car looking at the headlights, the driver side headlight outputs a brighter light as shown in the pic below:
At first, I thought there was something wrong with my HIDs so I switched the bulbs around (from left to right and vice versa) but this didn't make any difference (driver headlight still brighter).
I then changed to original OEM bulbs (completely removed HID) and still same results (driver bulb brighter). Also, while driving, I noticed the lighting output was broader on the co-pilot side as shown in the pics below (All pics below were taken with OEM bulbs installed, not HID):
Pic of headlight output when close to a wall (can't see much wrong):
Pic of headlight farther away:
Pic showing weird broader output to the right side:
As you can see, the light expands towards the right and then up. This also happened when I had HIDs installed.
Could some of you please take a detailed look at your headlights and let me know if you are also experiencing this? Stand and crouch in front and center of the car with your low beams on, do you notice if your driver bulb is brighter? Also, do your headlights output similar pattern than mine? I plan to take it to the dealer to see if they can fix this but before I'd like to hear from you. I'll greatly appreciate any help on this. Sorry for making this so long. (Sergio19, if you are reading this, could you please take a pic of the ouput of your HID against a wall at a far distance and at night?)
Thanks for your time.
Anyway, the lenses on these replacement lamps always had a cutoff with a flare upward on the right hand side of the lens. I was told by the Cibie' rep this was to not blind an oncoming driver (as mentioned by others) and to channel more light to the side where there could be cars parked or in highway driving, animals or other potential contact points.
From the look of your pattern in the pics, this style up and to the right persists.
Has anyone determine how to adjust the Azera headlamp units up/down or side/side? I have not found any adjustment screws that I think would accomplish this... Suggestions or pictures appreciated.
I hope this helps!
I would think that headlight adjustment should be covered by warranty.
I went with the 4300K bulbs for the whitest and brightest light to achieve the most distance I could. It took about 1.5 hours to install and is well worth the investment of under $200.
I would highly recomment to all of you Azera owners as the difference in night time driving will amaze you :surprise:
For the '06 Azera, it shows an adjustment screw for horizontal; there is no such screw or place for me to position the screwdriver as shown in the diagram. I looked at the '07 instructions and the horizontal adjustment is not shown, only the vertical. (It looks more like what my car does.)
Is it possible there was a running change during the '06 year?
Has anyone else uncovered a solution? Your advice is much appreciated.
