OE 98680-3V000 — HEADLAMP WASHER CAP for Hyundai / Kia

Treat it as a wear item: inspect every 20,000-30,000 km and replace at the first sign of leakage, noise or performance loss. Real service life swings widely with climate, road surface and duty cycle, so mileage on its own is a weak indicator.

Four variables explain most of the spread: material grade, whether the goods are new production or clearance stock, packing format, and whether the quote is ex-works or landed. Ask for the material certificate alongside the price — that is what makes a comparison like-for-like.

The Related OE References table above lists the alternates we see most often in trade inquiries. Cross-references work because the engineering envelope is shared across the body & interior family — always confirm dimensions and connector layout before you swap.

Position depends on the platform. On most Hyundai / Kia applications the headlamp washer cap sits on the body & interior assembly and can be reached from the engine bay or the underbody without removing the dashboard. Torque figures and disassembly order are given in the workshop manual for each model.

Stock references leave Guangzhou within 7 working days. If 98680-3V000 needs a production run, allow 25-35 days depending on quantity and surface treatment. The schedule is confirmed in writing when the order is placed.

Three checks: the code printed on your old part must read 98680-3V000; the number must fall inside the build-year range in the Applications table; and the connector, thread or bolt pattern must match the reference photo. Codes cast into the housing are the most reliable source.
