Does anyone know where to order aftermarket Xenon headlamps for the Azera?
Thanks,
Don

I haven't seen them, but it would appear that Xenon's are an avaialble option on the Azera/Grandeur in other markets. So . . . ; -)

Check out Ebay. There are kits for a few hundred dollars for Xenon conversion. I'm sure there's room in the engine compartment for the transformers required for this mod. I put "whiter" bulbs in mine for $40. and it's just fine by me.

I have had my azera for 3 1/2 months now I love this car.
Got it after hyundai bought back the 2006 sonota lx that I purchased and was giving me some issues . I installed some aftermarket hid lighting kit I purchased off of ebay. I had a problem with one of the ignitiors after having it in the car about 2 weeks and the person I purchsed them from would not honor the warranty . Be very carefull when deciding on whom to purchase them from . I found a replacement unit off ebay from another suppler and so far no problem with them and they are 100 times better then the factory lights . The first kit I purchased i paid 155 for it . The second kit I justed needed the ignitiors so I ordered two for 140 . Please note the lights on hid are expensive if they fail will cost you 100 each but they are not supposed to fail . Good luck
#6 of 810 HID lighting for the Azera from Studie?

Here's an interesting one I found digging on their web-site:
It's a 6000K HID light ballast with bulbs for 850,000 SKW (South Korean Won) per side. That's pretty pricy, really - I worked out the conversion and it would be $1800 US for a pair... (but - obviously it is do-able!)
Their web-site doesn't show the links, but it is found under the "HID/bulb/Lenser" link.

HID Lighting can be purchased and installed to any of the vehicle through an Aftermarket shop. The only difference is most of the kits are at 8000K HID light ballast which emits more of a bluish light. Cost wise should be around $400 to $500 depending on what the shop charges here in the states.
The picture you have on there is a Sonata. I'm pretty sure that Azera uses an H7 bulb for their vehicles.
I currently have an 8000K HID kit in my Tiburon and I love it. Alot of my friends who uses the kit also said they love it and they would never go back to standard Halogen.

True - I just hadn't seen one that was specifically designed to fit the Azera for sale. The 'generic' kits will work for any vehicle, but almost always require a little 'whittling' with a dremel or similar. Yes, the picture is of a Sonata, but the link is in the Grandeur area of the site, so it is bound to be an almost identical fit. As I've noted before, all European models have them standard, and there is already a spot in the fuse-box marked "HID", so - they're going to work even if the picture is outdated.
My point wasn't really that it was 'revolutionary' - just that it was outrageous as far as price... Most cars where they are optional charge maybe $500 these days, though it used to be a bit more. They were standard on both my vehicles, so - no choice.
The bulb in the Azera is indeed an H7.
#9 of 810 Yakima roof rack clips?

Yakima site does not list a roof rack for Sonata and does not even have anything for Azera. I have a Yakima from my Volvo and want to use it on my Azera but need new roof rack clips. any ideas?
#10 of 810 Mudflaps & wheel locks
by donvick

I just installed the front and rear mudflaps on the Azera. They came in a box with a package of brand new screws, so now I have started my loose screws and parts bin with the extra's. I took the wheels off and made it easier. Thought about using a stubby screwdriver like someone earlier had done but decided to see what was "in there" anyway.
The rear flaps have an insert shaped like a toggle type nut on the bottom, you have to reach behind the lower fender and kinda hold it in place as you tighten the screw.
I also noticed the lugnut studs were quite dry so I gave a very light lube of anti-seize prior to installing the lug nuts.
I also installed a set of locking lugnuts to help keep the chrome wheels from walking off some night.
The ones I received from the online Hyundai parts house are not very pretty but they work. They do not have a chrome botton on the end to match the other lugnuts.
Going to keep an eye out for a better set.
The jack and lug wrench keeper in the trunk is a nifty idea. The equipment fits in there nice and snug, no rattles, shakes or rolling around. In the Grand Am I had to wrap things up and pack them in just right otherwise we could hear the clanking and clinking back there.
So far the car is doing well and we like it a lot. No second thoughts or lingering doubts. It was and is a good purchase.
