FL EX bulb should H7 same as SX

Ya DRL is always on. And the headlights are by default yellowish. To get headlights similar to the DRL, you need LEDs or 6000k HIDs. No bulb can give you anything similar.

 

I got the osram cool blue too. Just for the lil bit more throw. This one kaput then i will get HIDs.

 

And its H7.

Great job!  辛苦了 ! Noticed even the paddle shifters are red ><

 

I got a steering wheel cover from taobao. Looks cool but the inner side doesn't cover the wheel completely so holding the wheel is not that comfy.

 

Based on the design it looks like still can fit our gear knob with button on right side? Just need to manually sew together the middle part..

This one I like cuz the wine red color matches my steering wheel cover. But if installed the wordings on knob become upside down ><

Thanks Bro.

 

H7 is single beam?

6k will "melt/ blistering” of head light plastic casing...

Understood Osram is pocket friendier & Philips more lasting, users can share experiences bo?

 

P & o brands like no H7 led bulbs?

Other reliable brand to recom..

Whether 6k HIDs will melt the headlight cover, that im not too sure. My previous ride was ok.

 

Ya osram is definitely cheaper than philips. Lost-lasting or not, i cant really say. Gotta ask the other bros who had experience.

You signed a two year servicing package and it doesn't cover the cost of parts??? Really? Then sign for what? Might as well buy your own parts and get a workshop to do it up for you? Kia spare parts are easy to get from the regular parts stockists like Song Yi or Min Ghee...

For FL ex,

H7 for headlights

High beam =

DRL =

Any other lightings like bulbs in headlamp combo like those T10 using in current gen car?

[Altis72]

Asking on behalf of my friend - is it possible to switch off the DRL and with headlights switched on only?

This grill is from L model...without chrome at the side.

As well as having signal lights at the side of the car body panel instead on the side mirrors...
