Compatible Headlights - Hyundai Performance Forums

Does anyone know of a vehicle that has headlights that are similar to the 2k1 Accent GL's? The reason I ask is that I am thinking about doing projector head lights on my GL. It would be alot easier if I could find a vehicle that has headlights similar to the ones I have. I can modify them, so it doesn't have to be a perfect fit.

Thanks in advance

The closest I can think of would be an elantra's headlights they look almost identical but they might be a tiny bit larger.

The XG headlights are MUCH closer in shape/size than the Elantra headlights.

I did the measurements for Lantra projectors...and the part of the lamp that fits to the fender is an almost exact fit. You would only need abouta 1/4 shaved from each fender. And the lamps themselves protrude inward, so you'd have to have the upper section of the air dam re-moulded. Which is easier to do with a fiberglass kit and working with our urethane front bumpers.

As far as wiring for the lantra headlamps goes...you have to rewire the entire circuit from the multifunction switch. It would be too difficult to do....but getting true HID while doing the headlamp conversion would actually make the wiring for the headlamps a lot easier.

I had plans to order a fiberglass front bumper from a Canadian company, get some Lantra projectors, and redo the front bumper myself using a fiberglass fix-it kit. It was gonna be my summer project...but I prolly won't be able to keep my car.
