A Genuinely Frustrating, Real Story Worth Knowing About Towbar Electrics — Hyundai i10 Rear Bumper
If a dealer-fitted towbar's reverse light circuit isn't working with a caravan or trailer despite everything checking out, this is genuinely worth knowing: one documented case on a related model saw a dealer's own diagnostic equipment show the circuit working perfectly, yet the caravan's reverse lights still wouldn't illuminate when actually connected. Worth checking the physical pin voltages yourself: the pink pin on the 13-pin socket should show 12V when in reverse, with the white pin being the ground side.
It's also genuinely worth knowing that some Hyundai dealers have stopped offering towbar supply and fitting entirely, since Hyundai's own internal pricing can make the job commercially unviable for them — with real quotes from dealers still offering it running to £900 or more.

The Hyundai i10's rear bumper routinely integrates parking sensors, a reversing camera housing and sometimes exhaust trim finishers, which means replacing it after even minor kerb damage often involves more than a straightforward swap.
Hyundai i10 Rear Bumper: What It Does
Beyond absorbing minor impacts, the rear bumper on higher trims of the i10 often houses parking sensors, a reversing camera, and sometimes integrated exhaust finishers. A bumper that looks compatible can still be missing the correct cutouts or wiring provisions for your specific trim's equipment.
