The 2019-2021 forte and k3 had very subtle differences that made the trunk reflectors not fit the same.

2019-2021 K3 Rear for reference

The new 2022 Forte / K3 look identical however so I was wondering if anyone knew if the after market led reflectors on ebay might be a lot easier to set up.

These trunk lights are made for Chinese-made Fortes and are simply NOT plug and play on North American Fortes. They can be made to work; however, you will need to drill and possibly grind areas to get them to fit.
