2021 EX Telluride Questions

[jrkntz]

I recently put down a deposit for an 2021 EX AWD WITHOUT the premium package and nightfall. I know it has the bench seat but I was curious what kinds of lights it uses with that package? Does it come with the Amber daytime lights or LED? And does that 2021 version use the same lights as the S or is it an upgrade? Thanks for any and all help.

It comes with white DRLs, and has the same halogen projector headlights as the LX and the S.

Thanks. Now I'm thinking I should've upgraded to the premium package but the bigger wheels and captains chairs I really didn't care about.

I am in the same boat, I wish I had the LED headlights but don’t want the other stuff. One thing you can do, which I did, is order the LED fog lights that come standard with the SX as a $450 option. I am going to replace the halogen headlights with LEDs when I get the vehicle, and this along with the fog lights should provide adequate lighting.

Do you happen to have a link for LED replacements I can buy for the vehicle?

Double check to make sure that you don’t void your warranty by swapping out the headlights, which require a different wiring harness.

There are a lot of different options. You can search the forum here. LEDs won’t void your warranty.

Parts are starting to show up from wrecked vehicles on sites like eBay. Might be able to score a deal. Not sure how you'd be able to source an oem wiring harness but I'm sure its possible. Either KIA parts department or the place that recycled the wrecked vehicle might be able to get them.

Before you spend the money on switching to after market LED headlights, this article and its sources is a pretty good read on that subject:

Why Most LED Headlight Upgrades Don't Really Work: An Expert Explains - Jalopnik

Plug-and-play LED replacements for halogen headlight bulbs are a popular car mod. LEDs often look brighter than incandescent lights, but “looks brighter” and “illuminates better” are not the same thing. I got a stern talking-to from an actual lighting expert about LED retrofits, and science...
