Outer Half Tail Light Assembly for Hyundai Sonata 2011-2014

This tail light without bulb outer half assembly is a precise replacement component for the Hyundai Sonata 2011-2014 models. It offers a cost-effective way to restore the rear light function without replacing the entire lamp unit. The assembly comes pre-equipped with a red LED rated at 0.5W, delivering a consistent brightness of 90-120 lumens per watt. Its compact external dimensions of 56 x 34 x 17 mm make it an easy fit for the dedicated rear lamp housing. Whether you are repairing a damaged unit or upgrading a faded lens, this part is designed for simple plug-and-play installation on a DC12V system.

Features and Construction

Built from ABS and aluminium, the tail light half assembly combines impact resistance with effective heat dissipation. The LED operates within a colour temperature range of 6000-6700K, producing a clear red glow that meets automotive lighting standards. Rated working current is ≤300mA with current stability of ≤±2mA over 24 hours, ensuring steady output.

Material and Build

The housing uses ABS plastic for the main body and aluminium for the internal heat sink. This combination provides reliable structural integrity under normal driving conditions. The unit also features reverse connection protection and open circuit protection to safeguard the vehicle wiring.

Size and Practical Fit

The external measurements are 56 x 34 x 17 mm, making it a compact module that fits the outer half socket of the Sonata's rear light cluster. It accepts a rated input voltage of DC12V with a total system current of less than 1.2A and total power under 6W.

Uses and Placement

This tail light half assembly is intended exclusively for the rear outer position on Hyundai Sonata 2011-2014 vehicles. It serves as a direct replacement for the original outer light unit that may have suffered physical damage or LED failure.

Event or Professional Use

Workshops and auto repair centres can stock this part for quick replacements. The weather-resistant construction, verified by rain and fog testing, makes it suitable for year-round use in varying UK conditions.

Everyday Home Use

DIY car owners can install this half assembly at home with basic tools. The reverse connection protection reduces wiring mistakes, and the LED's 50,000-hour lifetime minimises future replacements.

Benefits and Buying Value

Choosing the outer half assembly instead of a full tail light unit saves money while restoring proper rear illumination. The LED technology delivers low power consumption at 0.5W per unit, placing less load on the vehicle electrical system.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

The LED is rated for 50,000 hours of continuous use, translating to years of reliable service under normal driving patterns. The aluminium heat sink helps maintain stable temperature, extending component life.

Why Choose This Product

This part is specifically designed for the Hyundai Sonata 2011-2014, so you avoid fitment issues common with universal lamps. Its dual protection circuits and weather testing provide added reassurance for both daily commuting and longer journeys.
