What Lighting System Does the 2019 Hyundai Accent Have?
The 2019 Hyundai Accent features an extensive lighting system with 13 bulb positions. It uses factory LED technology with integrated LED headlight modules. The Accent has been available from 1995 to 2022, and the 2019 model falls in the late-generation years.
Can You Put LED Bulbs in a 2019 Hyundai Accent?
To upgrade the 2019 Hyundai Accent headlights to LED, you will need a LED Headlights LED kit for the low beams and a 9005 LED LED kit for the high beams. Start with the low beams since they are used most often and have the biggest impact on nighttime visibility. For the fog lights, a 9006 LED LED bulb provides a clean white output that pairs well with LED headlights.
How to Replace Bulbs on a 2019 Hyundai Accent
To remove the headlight bulb, disconnect the wiring harness, then twist the bulb counter-clockwise and pull it straight out of the housing. On the 2019 Accent, you will likely encounter rubber dust covers behind the headlight housing. These pull off by hand or unscrew depending on the design. Allow about 15 to 20 minutes per side. This vehicle has factory-integrated LED headlight modules. These are not user-serviceable bulbs. If your LED headlights fail, the entire headlight assembly or LED module may need to be replaced by a dealer or qualified technician. The fog lights are accessed from underneath the front bumper. You may need to remove a few plastic clips or screws from the fender liner to reach the 9006 LED fog light socket.

Shop Complete LED Kit for 2019 Hyundai AccentHow Long Do 2019 Hyundai Accent Headlight Bulbs Last?
Factory LED headlights on the 2019 Hyundai Accent are rated for approximately 25,000 to 50,000 hours of use, which translates to roughly 10 to 15 years of normal driving. LED modules rarely burn out suddenly. Instead, they gradually dim over time or develop dead zones within the LED array. At 7 years old, the original bulbs on your Accent are likely overdue for replacement, though LED modules may still have life left. Even if they still illuminate, reduced brightness significantly impacts nighttime safety. When one headlight burns out, replace both sides at the same time. Bulbs from the same batch age at similar rates, and mismatched brightness is distracting to oncoming drivers.
What Bulbs Are Compatible with the 2019 Hyundai Accent?
For the high beams, the 9005 is interchangeable with HB3. Using the wrong bulb size can cause improper beam patterns that reduce your visibility and blind other drivers. It can also cause overheating inside the headlight housing, potentially warping the plastic lens or reflector. Always verify the bulb number before purchasing.
