OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — aftermarket LH Hella 1EE 354 884-011 / RH Hella 1EE 354 884-021

Accuracy note: Covers the Hyundai i20 (2014-2020) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Headlights are sold by side (passenger / nearside = LH, driver's / offside = RH on a UK car) and by lamp type — halogen, xenon (D1S / D3S) and LED or full-LED units are not interchangeable, and DRL, cornering and levelling options change the part number again. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand; genuine numbers are shown only where a listing quotes one. Check the lamp type and traffic side (UK right-hand-traffic units, not LHD) against your VIN, and expect xenon / LED and adaptive units to need levelling adjustment or coding after fitting.

Passenger side (LH / nearside) headlight — aftermarket	Hella 1EE 354 884-011 (halogen H4, position light, indicator); Van Wezel 8259961 (halogen H4, for electric-levelling cars); Diederichs 6806081 (halogen H4, electric levelling motor); TYC 20-12176-05-2 (halogen H4, electric levelling motor); TYC 20-14440-05-2 (halogen H7, electric levelling motor); Van Wezel 8298961 (halogen H19, no DRL, motor levelling)
Driver's side (RH / offside) headlight — aftermarket	Hella 1EE 354 884-021 (halogen H4, position light, indicator); Van Wezel 8259962 (halogen H4, for electric-levelling cars); Van Wezel 8238962 (halogen H4, motor levelling); Diederichs 6806080 (halogen H4, electric levelling motor); Alkar 2772581 (halogen H4, electric levelling); Abakus 221-1151RMLD-EM (halogen H4, motor levelling)

Fitment notes	All halogen; no xenon or LED listed. Levelling is electric only, and units without a motor are for cars already fitted with electric levelling.

A Genuinely Important UK Rule Worth Knowing Before You Buy — Hyundai i20 Headlights

If your i20 has factory-fitted halogen headlamp housings, converting them to fit LED bulbs is treated as a definite MOT failure under the current inspection manual — this isn't a grey area or a minor advisory, since a housing designed for halogen doesn't distribute an LED bulb's light output correctly, which can genuinely dazzle oncoming drivers. If you want a genuine LED upgrade, the correct route is a complete headlight unit designed for LED from the factory, not a bulb swap into an existing halogen housing.

Before you buy: matrix LED, adaptive, and cornering headlight systems often require electronic coding to the car after a unit swap, even for a genuine like-for-like replacement — a headlight that isn't recognised by the car's electronics can trigger warning lights or fail to auto-level correctly. Check whether your specific trim has one of these systems before assuming a straightforward bulb-in, bulb-out job.

Hyundai i20 Headlights: What It Does

The Hyundai i20's headlight unit houses the main and dipped beam bulbs (or LED/matrix modules on higher trims), positioned and angled to illuminate the road ahead without excessively dazzling oncoming traffic. Many modern units also integrate the daytime running light and front indicator into the same housing, which affects both the part number and the complexity of any repair.
