How to install the enlight solarflare LED headlight kit for the 2016 2017 and 2018 Kia Optima with 9005 style headlight. - Věda a technologie
Looks great! I have a 2019 Optima LX and the first thing that came to mind when I got it was: why aren’t the headlights LED to match the DRL’s? I think I will upgrade them.
Omg, I needed help figuring out how to change my bulb that blew. The first 3mins saved me! Very detailed. Thank You!!
Thanks for doing this video!
These are the true amazing videos on CZcams. This saved me a lot of time and effort. Thank You. Only thing driver side is very tight for a large hand I had to move the battery out of way. Also how do average 38mpg??
nice.
i wonder cut off line looks like with LED bulb.
what is the length of your LED?
would it be same for sorento 2018
Do you guys have a video on installing fog light? On 2018 Kia Optima
Hello I have same headlights. Is possible to adjust only highbeam reflector up or down? Thank you
What can I use for 2012 Kia optima?
Is there a way to install something like this on a 2015 Kia Optima? My original headlights are so bad that for several times I almost killed people on the road for not seeing them
Can I use the same for a 2015 Optima?
what about if you have fog lights?
does this turn off the nightime automatic sensor?
Does this work on Kia Rio 2018?
Hey bro what kind of headlights are those? Are they the stock headlights
How do I get those kind of headlights?
EXCELLENT VIDEO!! THANKS!
I have A 2019 Kia Sorento, not sure why my h7 and h11 are not fitting for hi and low beams??? That’s what was told to me for the sizes? Can you help at all with this? Do I need something else??? Or did I just get the wrong shit? Please let me know, thx
Can we simply just switch the bulb
Whats the size of the bulbs??
Is your website down or not in business anymore?
I bought some some led lights low beams but they don't light up more than 10 feet. , I can't see shit further passed that
U in biz anymore?
I have a 2016 Kia optima sx-t with factory HIDs and currently both of my ballasts are not working, so I have been driving around for over a week at night with only my DRLs (super sketchy) but I can't seem to find any new ballasts, everything is used and I don't trust them, I've been thinking of switching to the not as bright LEDs just to avoid all this trouble that I'm having but I cant find anything that is a direct swap. Can you guys help me out? My current lights are the D3S bulbs. So I don't have a clue if I need the 9005 or the 9006 plug? All I know is the ballasts I just had were 2 prong connectors and my wire harness is a smaller 3 prong connector.
To change the ballast you will need to get the entire headlight assembly out/ To get it out, you'll need to remove the bumper. It is very unusual for the ballast to fail. Usually, they last a lifetime.
Just bought a 18 optima and can’t find custom headlights anywhere
Thank you!!!!
Is that a 6000k led?
INCORRECT. Optima 2016 EX require H7 bulbs with different power connection.
Great HELP !!
Went to replace low beam
bulb on my '16 lx and the lookup calls for 9005 bulb but mine has H7s instead. Anybody else run into this?
do you have the turbo?
@@kylequarles772 he said the lx so its the 2.4l NA
ツOhSlothz no there was a special edition lx that had a 1.6L Turbo. I know because I have it lol.
@@kylequarles772 o shit, didnt know that lol
ツOhSlothz yeah haha that’s why I was wondering because there’s a little little things different between the two such as the bulbs lol
So my 2016 optimas high beam are completely different set up. The oem bulbs can't be unplugged. Any help would be great
Same. Did u figure out how to do it?
@@jessegamboa687 I did. I forgot how I did it but it wasn't hard. I'll check later
Its wierd that my low beam projectors are h7 but everywhere it says 9005.
Same situation with my friends car
Same…
How did you made the DRLS Walk or chase each other?
they dont, cameras have a frame rate. The camera frame rate interferes with the pulsing frequency of the leds. The LEDS pulse at a frequency faster than the eye perceives so we dont see it in normal vision. But on camera, they appear to flicker because the camera is catching instants of the leds pulsing at different times and places.
Where you bought your led light?

I believe that's a 19
Production tag says, 2018 but might be marketed as a 2019 model.
Its gonna fail and overheat you cant vent if you have cover on lights its common sense the fan is useless if no air is allowed to escape make a hole on cap
You're right.
If you make a Hole the head light wont be water and dustproof
What he also fails to address is the lack of room in the high beam compartment so you cannot cap off the housing.
The hole is only to drill and make room for the wires and harness to mount outside not to make air flow
I ordered a conversion kit for my 2015 GMC Yukon low beams, $185.55. That was 20 days ago. Have not heard a peep out of Enlight. Can not contact Enlight through the email link they give for that purpose. Looks like a RIPOFF outfit to me. Contacting VISA to contest the charge. Order at your own risk.
I'm in a similar situation. I ordered a fog light kit back in early December, weeks went by nothing. Then they sent an email saying they had problems (relocations, personal problems ect.). I've been contacting them since then (by email) .... no reply. I them paid $150? I'm really pissed off!
Enlight auto motive is a scam ordered interior lights for my 2017 ram a year and half ago tried to contact through the email listed on there website multiple times no response, eat a bag of d@#$s enlight automotive!
Wooo, did you receive them yet or not?
2019 headlight
Is this legal or illegal.?
Cuz someone told me it is illegal.
And is it big deal??for the law?
It's not illegal
Seeing a LOT of bad reviews for Enlight all over the Web, from bad bulbs to not sending paid for items, and now he no longer responds to emails, and won’t return people’s money once paid. Very shady stuff. I was all for grabbing a kit for my 2020 Optima but now I’m out. Good luck people.
*how to make a light install more complicated than it is
So, several things about this video that need addressing. First, the LED you installed has a very poor design and construction. Plastic base. Horrendous heat dissipation. It should aluminum. Cheap, poor design.
Second, proper placement of the LED in the socket assures a correct beam pattern. You just put it in there without placing it the right way. The beam pattern is most likely wrong.
Lastly, you don't need a resistor cable, Kias are not that sensitive and it won't give you a fault.
I can't emphasize enough that unless you position the bulb properly, especially on a projector lens, the beam pattern won't be right and the illumination will be distorted.
Aside from that, that LED bulb looks like it came out of a Cracker Jack box.
