Upgrade Your Hyundai Grandeur IG's High Beams with Certified LED
Are you a Hyundai Grandeur IG owner noticing the yellowish hue of your high beam headlights? This can detract from your vehicle's overall design and compromise nighttime visibility. Many owners hesitate to upgrade to LED high beams due to concerns about passing vehicle inspections, as non-certified replacements were often considered illegal. Fortunately, a solution is now available. This review covers a legal, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) certified high beam LED installation for the Grandeur IG at a trusted Today's Car location in Seoul's Yangcheon-gu district.
Why Switch to LED High Beams?
Stock halogen bulbs in many vehicles, including the Grandeur IG, often emit a yellowish light. This can clash with the crisp white LED daytime running lights (DRLs) or low beams, creating a visually unappealing inconsistency. Halogen bulbs also have a shorter lifespan and lower brightness compared to LEDs, impacting nighttime driving clarity. While the benefits of LED upgrades for low beams have been legal for years, high beam upgrades remained a regulatory gray area, causing hesitation among car owners.
Certified Legal Upgrade: Bravio 'All New Classic' LED
The upgrade featured here utilizes the Bravio 'All New Classic' LED product for the Grandeur IG's high beams. This product is the first in Korea to successfully pass MOLIT's rigorous inspection standards, achieving legal certification. While LED low beam replacements were legalized four years ago, high beams were previously restricted. However, with the Bravio All New Classic, you can now legally replace your high beams with brighter, longer-lasting LEDs and still pass your vehicle inspection.
Today's Car Yangcheon: Expert Certified LED Installation
Today's Car Yangcheon, an official Bravio dealer, specializes in high beam LED upgrades for the Grandeur IG and various other models. Located in Sinwol-dong, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, this facility offers ample parking for convenience. Crucially, they perform installations using the legally certified Bravio All New Classic product. The installation service itself is provided free of charge, and a 2-year warranty covers the product, offering peace of mind after your upgrade.
Before & After: A Striking Transformation
Prior to the upgrade, the Grandeur IG's high beams displayed the characteristic yellowish light of stock halogen bulbs, creating a noticeable contrast with the white DRLs. Post-installation with the Bravio All New Classic LEDs, both high and low beams emit a clean, white light. This achieves perfect color harmony with the DRLs, giving the car's front fascia a significantly more modern and refined appearance. Nighttime visibility is also dramatically improved, offering a brighter and clearer view of the road ahead.
Applicability and Pricing
The Bravio All New Classic is compatible with a wide range of vehicles beyond the Grandeur IG, provided they can accept certified LED high beam bulbs. If you're dissatisfied with the yellow light from your current high beams or seek enhanced night vision, contact Today's Car Yangcheon. They can confirm compatibility for your specific vehicle and provide detailed information on the installation process. The Bravio All New Classic high beam LED bulbs typically cost around 100,000 Korean Won. However, Today's Car Yangcheon is currently offering free installation, meaning you only incur the product cost. Installation time is relatively brief, typically under an hour.
