Well for starters, it's very low profile compared to the other versions. It doesn't get put in the pathof the beam, so you can see more at night. Secondly, since it uses a wire attached to atransformer, there are no LEDs to burn out; which means the first time you open up yourheadlights to install these wires, it's gonna be the last time. Also, it provides a bright, constantbeam encompassing the headlight compared to a "hotspot" like effect produced by poorly maderods with the other versions.How expensive will parts cos t?I bought my cable kits off of www.beingseen.com for about 25 dollars each for a total of 50 dollars(56 when shipping is added in) Superglue ran me 2 bucks, electrical tape ran me 99 cents, and theelantra headlights...well yeah. Had those already. Total came to under 60 dollars, and expect tospend the same or even less, depending where you buy your equipment.Anything else I should know before attempting this?Yeah. Don't turn the temperature on the oven too high, or you will literally melt the headlight. I'llexplain more about that later. Oh, and one more thing. You WILL glue your fingers to each other.Trust me on this one.

Instructions:Step One (1):Remove the headlight from the car. This is accomplished by opening your hood and unscrewing the3 bolts holding the headlight in place. Two are easily seen, on top of the headlight, the third isbehind the headlight on the same level as the bottom of the headlight, essentally inside yourengine bay. You'll see it. Once you remove these bolts, remove the electrical connection stickingout the back of the headlight next to where you took that third screw out. To get that off there'sa little t ab you push down and then the c onnection will slide right off. To take the headlight out of

your car, pull on the outer-edge of the headlight, and it should pop out (might require some jiggling). T he rest of t he headlight should slide out . BUT WATCH OUT! There is st ill a wire at tachedto the headlight, so DON'T PULL TOO HARD! This is the wire going to your blinker bulb. You'll see awhite little connector that houses the bulb with the wire sticking out of it. just twist it and theconnector will come out with the bulb. Let this wire rest in the new "eye socket" while you takeyoue headlight inside

Step Two (2):Prep your headlight for "melting". This is done by removing the 2 caps on the back of yourheadlight, and removing the bulbs. To remove the high beam bulb (H1), remove the "plug" that'satt ached to t he bulb, then remove the 2 screws and it should all come out. Consists of one H1bulb, 2 screws, one little metal peice and another "V" peice of metal. To remove the low beam bulb(H7), you want to remove the "plug", then remove the screws on the left and right side of the bulb(not the top one!) and it will all come out. Consists of one H7 bulb, 2 screws, one little metal peiceand another "V" peice of metal. The reason you don't remove the top screw is because this is thescrew that holds the "bulb cover" on, and you don't need to take it out. If you look at theheadlight from the front side you'll see it. Don't worry about the plugs and their wires, they're thickenough to resist the small amount of heat you will be applying.

Step Three (3):Melt your headlight apart. Preheat your oven to about 300 degrees F, and place youeheadlight ona FLAT, ALUMINUM FOIL COVERED baking tray. When the oven is preheated, place the headlightinside, on it's tray. Every 2 or 3 minutes, take it out and test it's warmth. You want it warm butnot so hot you burn yourself. When I did this, I had the oven at 350, and I put the headlight on atoo-small tray so it's sides were holding the headlight up. Hard to explain. But I left it in for 15minutes...and when I took it out, the spot where the headlight was being held up by one of thetray's sides, had melted into the headlight, melting one of the clips you're gonna have to pop open

in a minute. It was not fun. Anyway, when the headlight is warm to the touch but not burning,take it out and start prying. You're gonna want to flip up all the little black "clips" to let the clearfront of the headlight to come off. Pull pull pull, but don't break the clips (I broke 3 but it still goesback together fine later when you reheat the glue) When the headlight starts to pry apart, you'llsee the super sticky glue holding this together. Get your your sissors / razor blade and trim it rightdown the middle. It will retract back to the sides, so it's not like it's gonna melt down all overeverything. Get the headlight in 2 peices.

Step Four (4):Unscrew the black inside from the clear part of the headlight. It's 3 screws and a little tug, theblack inside will snap out. This is the part we will attach the EL Cable to, but first we have tocreate a hole for the wires to come out the back of the whole headlight unit.

Step Five (5):Drill a hole in the back park of the headlight somewhere near the blinker hole to wire the EL Cablethrough. The picture explains this one, I drilled this hole with my mini-dremel's pointed tip.

Step Six (6):Assemble the EL Cable Kit. The kit I bought came with a transformer that has 4 wires coming outof it. One red, one black, and two white wires. Y ou can guess what t he red and black ones do.The EL wire itself ends in 2 wires, a brown and a yellow. You need to attach the brown wire to awhite, and the yellow wire to the other. It doesn't matter which. Now tape crimp, solder, whateveryou want to do to connect these. You don't want them comming apart. When you get the whitewires attached, you're gonna want to encase EVERYTHING up to the EL wire's glowing part andEVERYTHING down to (and including) the transformer. We're doing this to waterproof the setup,being that the transformer is going to be sitting in your engine bay, not in the headlight.

Step Seven (7):Feed the EL Cable through the dremel hole. Simple as that.

Step Eight (8):Glue the EL Cable to the edges of the black inside of the highbeam-headlight. This is fun. Slowly,applying the correct amount of super glue, Glue the EL Cable around the edges of the highbeam,starting on the top, going toawrds the middle, following around the circle, and overlapping whereyou started on the top, going behind it.

Step Nine (9):Glue the EL Cable to the edges of the black inside of the lowbeam-headlight. Glue your fingerstogether yet? Cross behind the black inside to get to the top of the lowbeam, and start glueingagain. When you get back around, overlap it as nice as you can and glue it around to the inside-area of the black inside, (shown in pics).

Step Eleven (11):Snap and screw the black inside back to your clean front peice. Simple.

Step Twelve (12):Reseal the front of the headlight to the back of the headlight. Pull your EL Cable back though thethe hole you drilled, so you don't have Wire just sitting in the bottom of the headlight.

Step Thirteen (13):Squeeze the headlight back together. Did you leave the oven on? Put the headlight back in therefor 5 minutes. DO NOT CLOSE THE OVER DOOR. You CAN NOT put the transformer in that heat.HOLD the transformer in your hand, as far away from the head as possible.

Step Fourteen (14):Resqueeze the headlight until you can pop all the tabs back together.

Step Fifteen (15):Wrap in electrical tape the EL Wire you have coming out of the back of your headlight. We want tocover the hole so water doesn't get in and cover the wire so your engine bay doesn't light up whenyou turn them on, right?

Resized pictures, guys.

And I see little errors I made throughout my DIY, but I CANT fix them (like i accidentally put picturestep7two twice.) Because I cheated. My post was over 10000characters long. So to fit in to onepost, well I found a loopholeBut I can't go back and edit the post now.

Great DIY! The finished product looks great too...

But umm...

Do you know where I can find a transformer for this, by itself?

I can get the wire by the foot, and all I need after that is that transformer you were talking about.

Re: DIY: Electroluminesent Angel Eyes for 01+ Elantra's

EL Glow wires (or indiglo, neon, cold-cathodes) require AC power to operate. The transformerconverts your cars 12v DC to an AC that is adequate to make the light glow.

As far as the DIY look - I think it would look worse if you bought the lighted rings and put them inthere, because the Elantra's lights are not perfectly round.
