Installing Day Time Running Lights (DRLS)

In this post i will show you how to install DRLS in your hyundai eon. The process is a bit complicated but if you follow my instructions properly you shoud have working DRLS in your car. DRLS as you know do not have a switch they come on as soon as u insert your key and that is what i am going to do i will take power from the accessories fuse box. The connection that i will show you will make the DRLS to go off after 15-20 sec after you have removed you keys or when your key is removed from the accessories position.

Things that you will need for this DIY
1. A set of daytime running lights (DRLS)
2. Wires
3. Double sided tape

Step 1
The first thing you have to do is to decide where you want to place your DRLS. Once that is done you need to measure ur wire so that it can be connected to any of the nuts for the ground and the positive wire will go into the fuse box in the bonnet as shown in the image below.

Step 2
Unbolt any nut that is bolted into the chassis and connect your negative or ground wire to it.

Step 3

For the positive wire u need to locate your fuse box which is behind the battery. Open the fuse box and remove the fuse as shown in the image below. Insert the positive wire  as shown in the image. And replace the fuse back into its place. Refer to the circuit below.

Step 4
Insert you key and turn it to the accessories position and see your DRLS come to life. As soon as you turn your key back to the off position and you remove it after 10-15 sec the DRLS will switch off automatically.

Changing Hyunai EON rear indicator bulb modification/replacement

So in this post i show you how to change the bulb of your hyundai eon car.The reason why i am doing this modification is that because i want to change my rear indicator lights to white where as the stock light is orange.

following is the list of things that you will need for this modification/replacement.

1. A screwdriver.

2. A pair of replacement bulbs as in my case it is white LED's.
3. Patience.
Lets Get Started

Step 1

The first step is to remove the four screws using a screwdriver that are circled in the image below. removing them will give you access to the inner wiring and the bulb holders for the rear light unit.

Circled in Red are the screws that need to be removed.

Step 2

Once you remove the four screws on the opposite side of the screws are two pins on either of the back light unit that need to be removed from their slot to get to the bulb holders. Gently remove them from the slot to access the bulb holders. The image below shows you where you can find the pins on the back light unit.

Do not use too much force to remove the pins as it could damage your back light unit  

Explanation

In the image below the blue circles indicate the pin holders and the red circles indicate the screw holders.

Step 3

In the image below the blue circles indicate the pins.The image on the left has a stock orange bulb that is factory fitted. The image on the right has a white bulb that is fitted by me.

Left image has an Orange indicator and the Right image has a White indicator

Step 4

Once you have changed the bulbs to either white or have replace it with new orange ones you have to put back the back light unit as it should be so first make sure that the pins fit in properly and then tighten the screws and your DONE.

Left indicator is white and the right indicator is stock orange.

Both indicators are white.

I do no know if it is allowed to have white indicators in your county or not. I have seen white indicators being used in many cars here in India and so i also went on to change them. So if you have the appetite for Risk go in for this modification.
