Let's face it the factory headlight bulbs in your KIA Sportage are not the best quality. This video will show you how to upgrade your KIA Sportage headlight bulbs to LED ones.
The typical life expectancy on a halogen headlight bulb is 450-1000 hours. LED headlight bulbs can last up to 40,000 hours before needing replacement!

I replied to another comment but wanted to ask you the following. My daughters 2014 Kia Sportage has headlights with the scratched up exterior. Not sure the led light will shine through that or if I need to purchase the entire headlight and not just replace old bulb with new led bulb. She goes to school back East and the streets aren’t as well lit as in AZ. Is there a product that can really buff out the scratches from the exterior headlight?

2:59 the other light blinks due to the refresh rate being slower than the camera's frame rate. Basically the bulb is flashing so slow the camera is picking up the moments where it's not fully illuminated.

@HomeOwnerRepair Жыл бұрын

These bulbs were a huge improvement over the stock ones.

@InSightFreedom Жыл бұрын

The reason you get the flickering on video is because LED has a fast cycling rate that is different than the frame rate of video. Good video

Hey man very easy and simple explanation. How about 2014 Sportage. Can I use the same reference???

@HomeOwnerRepair Жыл бұрын

It might be the same or a similar process. I haven't upgraded them on that particular year yet.

@primecrimejunkie30 Жыл бұрын

Jhon my daughter has a 2014 Sportage she took to college. Were you able to replace them the same way? I am going to see her in about a month and want to replace the bulbs. Her headlights don’t illuminate very well. I am worried it’s because of the foggy/scratched exterior of the light. Hoping the led light can shine through that.

Thanks a lot! Does it make a difference if a cable on the LED one is directed upwards or downwards? Because factory halogen bulb is directed downwards.

If the bulb doesn't illuminate you may have to flip the connector around.

Great video! I just installed them flowing your video. One question I have is there isn’t much room between the led fan and the original dusk cover, I’m worried it won’t be able to cool properly, the dusk cover pretty much seals the back. Do you think it will be an issue? Thank you!

Thank you for this video. I dont know if you did a video about fog light replacement or not, I will check. But I have a question: I noticed something when you tested the high beam and low beam (3:20), at low beam I can see a yellow light but when you switched to high beam the yellow light disappear, where this yellow light comes from?

@HomeOwnerRepair 7 ай бұрын

I haven;t changed the fog lights on my KIA Sportage to LED yet that is probably why you are seeing a yellow light.

The biggest issue is not changing the bulb but the dustcap not fitting bc led lights have a larger heat sink in the back.

The lights will need a ballast or CAN bus decoder otherwise the LEDs low power consumption will cause a warning light on dash. Halogens use more power than LEDs. Without a CAN bus decoder the vehicle will think the light is out.
