Default turn signal

I physically broke the turn signal on a 2017 Elantra, and was wondering if its a pain to replace (its under warranty, would I void my warranty if I tried to replace it myself?). I've seen some with sticks on both ends, and some with just the turn signal part....how can I tell which one I have? or what would it be to replace at the dealer?

You would have to remove the plastic steering column covers
Usually three screws. Sometimes ordinary phillips and sometimes the torxs bits.
Should be youtube videos on how to change it out.

Don;t forget you need to take certain measures due to air bags.

I still haven’t taken the columns off to see if the two sticks are separate or all one piece—Any idea where I can find a replacement

I can’t find anything that looks like that switch
( on the bottom where it attaches to the car it looks like a ball)
but on all the ones I found, they look like these below

Sorry, there are no videos on your year.
Maybe a good time to make a video
Cell phone camera and a little patience
There are some free video editing software ie., "Shotcut"
Plenty more. But, do as you feel is right.

I looked up my car with the Vin number, it looks like it’s the all in one piece with both sticks attached. If I bought this part (eBay has a used one for $199), how much would it be at the local dealer to have it installed and would it potentially void my warranty since I didn’t get it from them? (The used part IS an OEM part)

and I believe the part thats listed on eBay is from a Hyundai dealership (just not local)

Sorry, I do not know.
Better to call the dealership and ask for price of part and cost of installation

From looking at the pix, the steering wheel needs to be removed to replace the switch assy.

This will require some special tools which you probably don't have, so best to have someone with the tools and experience replace it.
I can't imagine why you would want to put a used part back after going through all that work. Nothing like having to do it over again.

If I installed the customer's used part,got paid for the job ,then shortly after have to do it over again, 2nd time is always easier plus I get paid for the second time too.
