Thanks for this video, Jarrad... I've been sitting here for a couple days now researching whether or not my 2011 Sorento will accept an LED conversion kit like this and if the dust cover will still go back on just fine. This video helped me finally make a decision, and actually, I went ahead and ordered the same bulbs you did, thanks to your provided link to them on Amazon. I had been considering some that are twice the price, but same lumens, etc.
I'll find out in a couple days if these work fine on my Sorento, but it's only a year older than yours, so I'm not too worried.
Thanks, man!
Metalheaded Thanks, happy I could help. Let me know if you like them or not. Mines are still going strong with no issues and they make a huge difference.
Installed mine last night, and they work like a charm! We'll see how well they do over time, but I'm not too concerned since you said you've had yours since last September with no problems, so far...and yes, they do make a big difference! Nice, bright, white light. I have yet to see how they look out on a dark highway out of town, but I'm sure they'll look great.
Metalheaded That's great my friend. I'm glad you like them, and yes the difference is very noticeable.
Share a link please.
@@metalheadedone any update on how they are doing? I am considering doing this too on my optima.
Great video , thank you. I just cant release the connector on the bulb. Anybody?

So far they work and are really bright.
Hey quick question. I see some places recommend to install (for Kias like the Optima and Sorento) a canbus / anti-flicker module inline before the driver for the LED bulb. Did you find it flickering or giving you any dashboard lights or anything? Great vid too!
@sharp_angus thanks for commenting. I haven't had any trouble with any of the bulbs I have listed in the description and I haven't had to install anything extra either. No flickering has ever occurred nor any other issues.
Great video! I have an 2016 Sorento EX V6 and wanted to get LED (I think mine takes H7). The only 2 things I was worried about was if I could close the dust cap (it looks like you can) and the heat dissipation. How is the temperature of the headlight compartment now? I'm worried if it gets too hot, it might deform the housing.
Mojogasm Thanks! The dust cap closes just fine with enough room for the built in fan on the led to circulate the air without smothering the fan out. As far as heat they still get hot, but I feel like the halogen bulbs were hotter than these. I also just checked and the dust cap nor anywhere else shows any burns or melting. I think the fan on the back really helps and theres so much room the extra wiring can go just about any where in the headlight housing. Haven't had any issues with them yet. I'm now trying to get led lights for the fog lights and high beams. They make a huge difference.

Can you make a video of when you install the fog lights please I have this exact car and I’m trying to do the same thing.
+Walter Plasencia will do!
Thanks for the video I have 2016 Sorento SXL and hate the yellow halogen headlights in contrast to the LED DLRs & Fog light. I was also worried about where to place the wiring, thought I might have to make a hole on the dust cap, like when I had HID's installed on a 2002 Sonata. Thanks to your video I can buy and install new LEDs with ease.
Im way late to this conversation lol.... But that small box the led comes with, i see you put inside the headlight. Have you had any issues with it heating up and melting, or catching fire? I have a similiar one from amazon and that little box thats attached to the wiring gets Hot.
I use these types in multiple vehicles and have had no problems yet; but they do get pretty hot.
Excellent video Jarrad and great background music! Just wondering if they are LED headlight kits that would work on a 2008 Kia Serento? Thanks!
Michael Easterling Thanks! & sorry my friend I don't know much about the 2008 model. I only know for sure that these led lights work in the 11, 12, & 13 model.
Michael Easterling the 08 Kia Sorento is H11’s
Michael Easterling so I found out the low beam is h11B. Have you changed yours ?
Looking to buy led lights low beam for kia Optima 2013 can u help me out
Aaron Morales which model do you have?
Hi Jarrad, I may be almost 3 years late, I have a problem understanding the H11 (H9,H8) Led bulbs. Am looking to install it on the same car on your video, the Kia Sorento XM 2011..so which one is the bulbs for the example (left headlamp assembly- the left side near the turn signal and the middle one, i dont know is it called the low beam and high beam)? Many thanks
Sorry for such a late reply, but if it helps any. The bulb that I replaced is the low beam h11. I think my high beams are h1. The look very different. Hope this helps.
What would be the bulb number for the high beam? Sorento 2012
@calo Morales hope this helps:
Low beam:H11
High beam:H1
Fog:881
awesome. what about cut off line? could you please share the video?
Awesome video dude im looking to change the brake rear lights to leds do you have any recommendations
+josias Perez Thanks, I have seen many different rear brake led lights on the market, but I haven't used any of them yet. If I decide to upgrade to led brake lights I will most definitely make a video on it and link the bulbs I use. I did recently upgrade my fog lights to led and used this weird brand led bulb from Amazon (amzn.to/2Gx6fWL) . They look great and shine really bright. I wanted to do an install video, but my camera couldn't reach that far down under the hood.

Josias Perez yes, those.
hey man i got a kia optima 2013 lx im new to this whole car thing and i have absolutely no clue how to install these turbo leds i bought off amazon for $30. the connector is completely different than the one in the car and its not a plug, it is hardwired into the bulb so i have no clue how this stuff works. amazon said it could fit my vehicle but that is not the case if i am forced to have to do some conversion method, if so do u know how i would do that and what adapters i may need. the leds are h11 turbo led by winpower
Hi, sorry I am not sure. It sound like you may need an adapter kit. All the lights I purchase have the same connectors as the stock lights.
I'm a bit late to the party but, are led lights legal? I want to install some
I guess it depends on where you live. Here in Louisiana everyone has LED lights and more.
Hi Jarrad may i please ask if those LED could work or fit in my Kia rio 1.4 tec 2011 model?
Hi, I am not sure. I don't know much about the Kia rio, but if it has the h11 headlights then they should work.
My car use H7 i dont know if H11 will fit, but its a 2011 kia rio
is it okay to put LED cooling fan tail inside housing and sealed? i worry become overhead
antgunawan mine are still running and I haven't had any issues with them yet.
Thats the same question I have. I installed a kit on a kia rio, and after a while, you can smell it's heating up. May be lifetime will be lower, but Im willing to see how much they last.
Any update about life time guys
Link is not working, please fix it, I want to purchase one like these.
thanks for informing me about the link. I just checked and it looks like they are out of stock and the seller removed the listing for now. I will fix the link once I see that the seller gets more in stock as well. I have just updated the info to include alternatives that I know work really good as well. I currently am still using the ones in the video with no issues at all, but I have installed these alternatives in other vehicles and they look amazing too.
Alternative LED bulbs that also work just as good if not better:
No fan model - amzn.to/2OtDu0m
Turbo fan model - amzn.to/2QBPWgm
@@jarradpinestraw Thank you for your quick reply.
@@SterlingPaulinoRodriguez29 you're welcome! If you decide to purchase any let me know how you like them even if you go with a totally different led light. It's great to have options and learning about other lighting kits out there.
Oka it's a deal.
Thank you the dealership trying to charge me $130 to do this
@algblessed you're welcome! Glad I could help!
Get Hikari LEDs you'll thank me later.
Just got some from an Amazon deal the other day. Can't wait to test them out.
