    I was recently in an accident & I have to replace my front end, I have a 22 gt line and I was wondering if anyone knew if I could just put the better gt headlights in the car without any programming or if it’s even possible.

    Hello all, I had a question about lighting. I have a 2020 Kia Forte LXS. I just recently got some work done to it. I replaced the trunk reflector with a led light bar. I also bought a led headlight kit. When I installed it the low beam headlights work but the led high beams wouldn’t go in. It...

    Hello Forte owners. Just recently purchased a new 2023 Kia Forte LX, which looking back on it would have really liked to get the DRL Headlight housing units like all the upper trims have (EX, GT-Line, and GT). To be honest, all the other little minut cosmetic upgrades that come with the GT-Line...

    For some reason "full" LED package which comes with GT-Line trim is not... Completely full. There are some places where Kia decided to save some money and use "classic" halogen bulbs instead of LEDs. And they are not so expensive to replace. So I decided to do that. First, all my previous...

    So being that the stock halogen lights on the 3rd gen Forte are only ok (not horrible, but not great), I decided it was time to get some aftermarket LEDs for it. These are the exact listing I bought: Amazon.com: SEALIGHT 9005 LED Bulbs, HB3 LED Light with Brightness, 6000K Xenon White, Plug and...

    Hey guys! I drive a 2019 LXS and am not so happy with the tail and head lights. I think that EX lights are nicer (and at times safer). Which led me to this question: Am I able to swap my LXS head and tail lights with ones from the EX? And if so, would it be just a plug and play scenario?

    Hello everyone, new forte owner here. I noticed that the stock headlights are pretty bad, and I have poor eyesight. So I want to get either LED or HID, but I'm unable to find any solid info on the size of type of lights needed for not only the headlights, but throughout the car. Does anyone...

  10. Kia Forte (2014+) 1.8L Engine Discussion
    Looking to replace my Headlights on my 14 Forte EX 1.8L. Wondering if anyone has used or has any reviews on these lights from ebay? Called Razor Motor and have the LED front strip that the ex doesn't have. Or if there's a recommended brand for Kia LED conversions that would help. Link here [...

    I recently bought this 2012 Forte. The radio wasn't working but everything else was fine. Now two days later I noticed a low beam headlight out and front passenger blinker out. Replaced all bulbs and the low beam on the driver's side still doesn't work. Switched the relays to check that , still...

    I have the base model 2017. Driver's headlight stopped working. Given the age of the vehicle and that the bulbs had never been replaced to my knowledge, I bought a new pair. Still nothing and nothing else appeared to be wrong. So I've made an appointment with the dealer, which will be a good...

    Bit of a weird issue and wondering if anyone has a better understanding of the GT DRL functionality. I have the GT trim with DRLs in the X shape and this is how they behave with the lighting switched to: PARKING - Both X's light up. HEADLIGHT - Both X's + Headlights AUTO (DAY) - Right X only...
