Default LEDs and HID installation Kia Forte - Vietnam

I bought this Kia Forte Koupe aka Cerato as they call over there last year. The tax percentage in Vietnam is 200%, so I ended up paying 45k for this Koupe =). I recently came back for a trip and brought back some HIDs and LED for them to install on the car.

One thing I notice that this car has push start button while my friend in the US doesn't.

I ended up installing 3 set of HIDs..one on the headlight, 1 on the daytime running, and 1 on the fog lights.

One thing about Vietnam is that not many people modified cars. I plan to modified it more when I return in April =)..

Well enjoy this video I made while I was there.

I tell ya, driving over there is crazy, but the accident level is very low. There's no road rage like here =) If you want to tone your driving skill, take your car over there and try it lol

Where in Vietnam is this? I'm gonna assume Hanoi or some place up north considering the accent.

Hi CeratoVietnam,
I'm in Hanoi and you are in Danang, right? Nice to know you here! Are you in US?
I don't understand what is tax 200%, U mean 20%? U can see many more items for your car in my website DUK- CÁ TÍNH CHO CHI?C XE C?A B?N

I have just got a Koup in 28.12.2012 to save tax cost, all is 37.400$. U can see it in this Forte Koup 2 c?a máy GDI - Chi?c xe cu?i cùng b?n n?i ??a - Trang 16. Hope we can be friends and happy new Lunar year!
