Hyundai / Kia 14-Pin Front LED Headlight Wire Harness Connector – Female OEM

This 14-pin female connector is used in Hyundai and Kia front LED headlight assembly harnesses. The high-density 14-pin configuration integrates low beam, high beam, DRL, turn signal, LED matrix driver, AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting System), leveling motor, and CAN bus communication circuits for Hyundai’s and Kia’s advanced LED headlight systems. Available with or without pre-installed terminals, and with 15cm pre-wired leads.

Key Specifications

Why LED Headlight Connectors Fail

Hyundai and Kia LED headlight connectors are exposed to road vibration, thermal cycling from LED matrix drivers, and moisture from the headlight housing. Terminal oxidation or housing cracks cause intermittent headlight failures, DRL malfunctions, AFS faults, LED matrix errors, or B-code fault codes. Replacing the connector restores full LED headlight circuit integrity.

Variant Guide

• Female – Bare 14-pin housing with terminals (needles) installed
• No needles Female – Housing only without terminals, for custom terminal selection
• Female 15CM – Pre-wired with 15cm leads for direct splice-in installation

Select “No needles” if you need to install specific OEM terminals; select “Female” for standard terminal-included repair.

Installation Steps

1. Disconnect the vehicle battery
2. Remove the front headlight assembly to access the harness connector
3. Use a terminal extraction tool to remove terminals from the original housing
4. Transfer terminals to the new housing maintaining exact pin positions
5. Reinstall the headlight and verify all functions (low/high beam, DRL, turn signal, AFS, leveling)
6. Perform AFS headlight calibration if required using GDS/GDS2

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What Hyundai and Kia models use this 14-pin headlight connector?
A: This connector is used on Hyundai Sonata, Tucson, Santa Fe, Elantra, and Kia Optima, Sportage, Sorento with LED matrix headlight assemblies. Cross-reference your vehicle’s wiring diagram to confirm fitment.

Q: Is AFS calibration required after replacing the connector?
A: If the headlight module was disconnected, an AFS headlight calibration is recommended using GDS or GDS2 diagnostic tools.

Q: What fault codes indicate a headlight connector issue?
A: Common codes include B-codes for headlight circuit faults, DRL open circuit, AFS module communication errors, and LED matrix driver faults on Hyundai/Kia GDS diagnostic systems.
