Default DIY: Vanity (sunvisor) Light change!

I put red map lights in my forte, but couldnt see much at night. i decided i needed a pair of bright lights for reading and finding things at night. this resulted in me wanting to change the vanity lights to LED.
I had a ton of trouble changing these as i found very little information online on how to do it. I finally found a short explanation in a hyundai forum, and decided to make a video for you guys.

Tools needed: flathead screwdriver, 2x 31mm Festoon bulbs.

Here is my small contribution to the Kia community

^^^^^No 2010 Koup comes with vanity lights. They added this in 2011.
