Upgrade SEL original halogens with better halogens?

  1. I had no problem getting the dust caps to close all the way but the beam distribution certainly is less than ideal. I've adjusted the headlights down to compensate for the beam height and it took about 6 turns. However, I wouldn't have used them for more than 15 minutes so far so don't have a lot of experience with them.
    I think I can live with the flat beam and there are no legal issues here but would not hesitate to remove them if reliability was in question or I changed my mind for any other reason.

  3. How did you removed it any pictures or video of how you removed halogen and replace with Led headlights
     
  4. How did you removed wheel well access panel!

    Thank you!
     
  5. You have to read the thread. One of my earlier posts on this thread has the instructions. There is a retaining pin in the wheel well. Turn the wheel so the tire is facing out to get your hands some clearance. Remove the upper retaining pin. Just pops open. Then, from the engine compartment side, push the top of it open. The bottom is riveted, so don't break it. It is basically hinged there so the piece will sort of hang open with clearance there.

    I took some photos of the access panel removal. Use a flat screwdriver and push gently into the "gap" shown on the photo. Then gently turn it to pop open the upper part of the retainer clip. The entire retainer clip can then be completely pulled out. 20200326_183710.jpg 20200326_183748.jpg 20200326_183828.jpg 20200326_184022.jpg

    I took photos of the entire LED bulb replacement process on my car. If time permits I will try to put them into a PowerPoint slide video.

    I like how that adapter comes with a tool for installing the adapter!

    Thanks.

    Perhaps it is easier to see how it is wired up if you refer to the instruction provided by the manufacturer.

    Here is one such link:

  22. Sorry, new member, and my question may already been answered: Are the all the lights on a Kona EV ultimate would be LEDs? mean flashers, brake, day lights and interior lights. tks
     
  23. And if not, can it be replaced with LEDs?
