• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Sent you an email to your gmail not sure if you received it @machtig

I’d buy one too or I’m going to figure it out with a wiring harness.
just called Kia south Austin and it’s $800/ea. For the lowest trim package LED headlight!

Look for them on ebay. You can get an led R and L for way cheaper than that. Just have the seller show you pics of them working and make sure the backs of the lights are complete. There are some good pics one this thread. I gotmine for a little under $600 for the set and they are perfect.

Just to be clear, @Austintelluride is here to do the backwards retrofit of SX headlight to EX/S/LX because he specifically wants the white DRL’s.

EDIT: Never mind. I misunderstood.

I don’t think @machtig ‘s harness was designed to plug a LED power harness into the halogen headlamp assembly. There may be additional considerations needed to make the power supply compatible as a regulator was needed for the SX headlamp retrofit.

Hi, I recently bought a salvage SX that had the wiring for the right (passenger side) headlight completely ripped apart. I'm not sure where the wiring is supposed to come from and ran into this thread looking for info. If you have anything you think could be useful please let me know. Thanks!

Here’s one of the harnesses. Also I’m ordering a metal cutting bandsaw (For the aluminum mounts) and a few other specialty tools to make this a top shelf kit. I want it to look like it almost came from the factory this way. View attachment 11258
