Hi all, I have a 2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring SE in Chillipepper Red. I've got about 1,875 miles on it and so far I love the car. It is my first Hyundai!! I just ordered an HID kit from Diode Dynamics (4300K) because the stock halogens are very dim and are downright scary to drive with at night! BTW I also put in a K&N air filter as well...

Welcome aboard. Not real familiar with the touring, but if it has reflective type light housing, you may need to build some glare shields for the HIDs so as not to blind oncoming traffic.

I really like the Elantra Touring. Very practical without being too boring.

Thanks everyone! beercheers.gif The car already comes with the projector headlamps so it should be a good fit. However, I'm not sure whether I would need to re-aim the headlights though?? As far as the fogs are concerned I'm going to leave them alone, I don't want to mess around with that.

As long as the bulbs go into the stock projector location snuggly, your aim will be right on. Paul sells some good stuff. You should be happy with the outcome!

welcome to the forum. i just install HIDs on my 08 elantra. my lights were previously aimed up. i forgot to aim them back up when i installed my HIDs. i havent even been flashed once for my HIDs because from stock, the lights aim just too low.
