He brother me again, I bought the same kit that you showed and it worked perfectly, just be careful with the front lights before pushing them all the way make sure they are doing good contact with the terminals because you might push them in and not make good contact and they are a pain in the @ss to take off. Thank you for the reference.
Hello, For licence plate I see that you are using LED without CANBUS and I see that you have Sportage NQ5, US model, mine is NQ5 but Europe model (shorther one) and the licence plate are diferent, have different shape but using the same bulb W5W (T10) and I know that those bulbs need to be CANBUS error free. Question: did you noticed any errors? Thanks in advance!
Absolutely no idea. I never changed them. I just show people how to change them. BUT, I do know that the newer Kias and Hyundais have implemented the German style lighting and computer systems for them. Good for owner/driver, but bad for the swapping. Yes, the new lights need some sort of "control" over them so the computer doesnt recognize a problem. You might need resistors but the problem with that is where to put them. Try morimoto lighting. Here is the link. www.theretrofitsource.com Not sure if they can help, but thats all they do, is lighting. I use them here and there because they are reliable, but expensive. I hope that helped.
Indeed you didn't changed them, my bad. Anyway, I seen on RUclips, other guys with the same KS 5 as yours, also US model, the same lamp, that changed the original bulb with a LED T10 and this makes me think that legislation is different in your contry compared with European legislation. Thank you anyway for your suggestion, Morimoto is a great brand for such products. All the best!
@claudiunegru605 well the law just wants them white, no coloring. It makes them see the plate, thats all. As far as LED or not, just white is fine. Well in the states anyway. And welcome from abroad. 👊😁🤣
Hello, the led interior kit that you mention is confirmed that is for the kia sportage 2023 model and above? I have a Kia shortage 2025 LX and I Want to make sure this kit fits for all the interior lights
Yes and no..as far as "specific"..most are not..the kit should give you all the different style bulbs of what they can be..most kits are like this..as far as the "specific"..those too are off..lol..I have found it just easier (and cheaper) to just buy a kit that will give you more than what you need and the rest will just sit on the shelf or given away to someone else..I even wanted to put together kits myself..but its not worth the time or energy..
I try my best to put in links to product that will work. I was going to buy all the bulbs myself and start selling them myself in "specific packages"..like this car for example..I had all the info before anyone else..so would you pay more to buy a specific package over a generic?? Let me know because I thought of doing it and would gladly look into it..
