Gonna have to get these for reverse lights
😂
Congrats on the Santa Cruz! I used this video for similar lights I installed on my SC
Very cool!
Hey friend, you should have areas on the firewall that look like rubber grommets that you could feed the wire harness thru instead of taking a chance of pinching it in the door jam.
Just ordered these for my F-150 super excited to install them !
Is the Relay OK to be screwed in anywhere or is it supposed to go into a slot in fuse box?
It’s ok to screw anywhere as it’s not part of the factory wiring loom
Thank you for helpful video.I will buy this at Amazon
Thanks for watching!
hey I have the exact sorento ! have u taken it off roading?
Awesome video! Thank you!
@@henryescobar4887 glad you liked it!
Great video. Would've been nice to see how far and wide they light up the front of the car.
Yep 😂
I installed a low profile led aimed to the sides (alley lights)
How have the brackets held up? their are plenty off options on Amazon, these dont seem to be the best. Then again, time always tells, so please let me know. Cheers!
Had same question, seems if you can find the ones that mount to the hood support/hinge thatd be best but another channel I saw said he hasnt had an issue with them in his 9 months of owning.
They were great, my only issue is I over tightened them to the hood and left a little dimple in the paint. Other than that they’ve worked perfectly!
@KDMCurt have you driven those pod lights through a car wash tunnel with them not being pulled by the car wash while touching the vehicle? I am on the fence from being concerned these might get pulled off by a touch carwash.
@@ziggydiaz7601 yes they fly off, so pull them off or tuck them away inside the hood before entering.
I noticed your Kia Sorento door handles were blacked out. Did you skin them or use an overlay, or did you replace the body colored handles with new black ones? If you replaced them, from where?
They are some “carbon style” plastic covers you can find on Amazon - amzn.to/46b8yKz
What gauge wire did you use
can you show the lights from a different view to see how bright they are? like pointing to a dark street? I like your videos I've been following you since you had the Optima greetings from kilgore TX
Yes! I’m going to do a separate video on that, I figured since the install video was getting kind of long I’d do a part 2 showing how it looks while driving.
Thanks 👌
Is this stable and safe enough at interstate speeds?
will that metal loop you used to attach the relay to the plastic work as a ground if i just connect it to the frame of my car?
Great mod. I may not want the lights on hood all the time (i.e. highway road trips, etc.)...any concerns just unplugging the lights & removing the mounts ... in other words any special protection for the connector plugs under hood when not plugged in the lights/lights removed? thx!
Interested in more Content for the Sorento! We have a 2022 SXP X-Line and I'm definitely looking for ways to spruce up the sorento
I should have some more stuff on the way!
So the wiring aint too long🤔I wanna wire these to the back of my truck
Nice and simple!
the lights are conected directly to the battery forever? I guess it should be another way
Yes. If you wanted to you can get your power source from elsewhere (fuse box) but it should be fine connecting straight to battery. This way you can turn the lights on without having to put the key in the ignition.
Any issues w the mounts?
They hold up pretty good, my only gripe is I overtightened them on the hood and left I little dimple in the paint. Other than that they were great!
Hello. Can I connect the red to the fuse box instead of the car battery. I wanted them to be on as day running lights
Yeah you can get ‘piggyback’ fuse adapters so that the lights come on with the ignition. Chose a fuse that you want for example if you want it to come on with dipped beam, main beam, fog lights etc. use that fuse slot and the relay will engage with the current from that fuse slot. I hope that makes sense but there are diagrams online which might help visualise. I have my light bar hooked up to the main beam using this method
@@tomloweshow ok thanks. I wasn’t sure since it has a relay I was concerned to hook it up to the fuse box. I thought maybe it would short circuit
So you have to drill a hole through the hood?
@@OkayCaptainObviouss no, not at all. These brackets clamp down onto the hood.
@KDMCurt is the hood fully openable? And does it drain battery at all? I’m just curious because I have a 2024 trd camry I wanted to do something different on it and install this on the vehicle
@ yes, you can open and close the hood like normal. The only time it drains battery is when it’s on really, and even then it’s not that bad since they are LED and use less power.
@@KDMCurt thank you for the quick and fast reply I surely appreciate it! Just one last question if I installed it on a 2024 Camry will I have any issues? I know people usually install these on off road vehicles but I just wanted to be different haha
@ nah it shouldn’t matter what car you install it on. It will all work the same.
Love these Sorento Videos. I own a 23 Sorento and I can't find anyone besides you who does these. Keep it up! Hopefully you straight pipe and put on an after market BOV on here soon 😬
I’ve got some more plans for it!
Did you have to drill the brackets into the hood?
No. That's why you buy this specific "no drilling required" bracket
No drilling
3:08 no se que qp2 pero a este gringo si le entendi 😅 bueno bro gracias por el video me ayudo 💪😎
There is an empty socket in the fuse box that you can install the lights on it ❤❤❤❤
I think instead of hood mount I would of tried on roof rack but that’s me
You didn't adjust the aiming. You could potentially blind the oncoming traffic.
I adjusted them for off-road so I can see what’s infront of me at a longer distance and wider angle. You shouldn’t use these on main roads with oncoming traffic that’s not what they are for.
