Halogen base; LED on higher trims

Dip beam (low)H7VerifiedHalogen projector on S/SE/SE Nav. Premium/Premium SE and facelift higher trims have bi-LED projectors (non-replaceable). No xenon on UK TL.
Main beam (high)HB3VerifiedUK code 9005 not used - write HB3. LED headlamp trims non-replaceable. autodoc also lists H7/H9 generically but spec chart says H7;H8;HB3.
Front fogH8VerifiedPGJ19-1 base. Some trims have LED fogs (non-replaceable). Check S trim has fogs fitted.
Sidelight / DRLW5WLikelyW5W (501) sidelight in halogen headlamp per birnen-typ; DRL is a separate LED strip, non-replaceable. No second domain found this pass (agmvision/xenled pages omit the front position lamp).
Front indicatorPY21WVerifiedPY21W (581) confirmed by birnen-typ, agmvision and xenled for halogen-headlamp cars. Some 2018+ facelift higher trims have LED front indicators.
Rear indicatorPY21WVerifiedBayonet PY21W, not wedge: birnen-typ, agmvision and xenled agree (to-2018 halogen clusters; facelift LED clusters also use PY21W per Abakus/Alkar unit specs). A few aftermarket unit listings say WY21W - check bulb before ordering.
Brake / tailP21/5WVerifiedP21/5W (380) on halogen clusters: birnen-typ, agmvision and Abakus/Diederichs unit specs agree. Higher trims (Premium/Premium SE) and 2018+ facelift upper trims have LED tail/brake units, non-replaceable - confirmed by TYC/Diederichs LED unit listings.

Rear fogP21WVerifiedOften listed as candidate W21W: agmvision and xenled both list bayonet P21W (382) for the rear elsewhere — bumper fog lamp; birnen-typ's W21W is the outlier. Onlinecarparts fog-unit listings show P21W/PR21W across Tucson gens.
Number plateW5WVerifiedW5W (501) wedge: agmvision and xenled both list W5W plate bulbs for the TL. birnen-typ's LED claim likely reflects facelift/higher-trim LED plate lamps; standard UK cars use W5W.

Can you fit LED bulbs to the Tucson TL?

Most trims of this car have halogen headlamps. In the UK, a halogen headlamp unit on a car first used on or after 1 April 1986 must not be converted to LED or HID bulbs: the MOT inspection manual (§4.1.4) treats a converted unit as a fail, however bright or well aimed it is. “Retrofit LED H7” bulbs sold for these cars are for off-road use. Halogen upgrade bulbs (+150% and similar) are legal because the unit is unchanged. Sidelights, indicators and number-plate LEDs are a separate question — E-marked LED versions of those are road legal.
