I can't see any reference to the electric version. So I'm guessing it's designed for the ice version. That doesn't mean it couldn't work ... [emoji2369]

I too have a kona electric SEL with halogen headlights. I tried a conversion to led. Used a lasfit plug n play h7 pro that did go on well and looked good. BUT stuck out in back end so could not get original dust covers back on. Got some rubber dust cover extensions but that didnt work. Just not enough room to add.
So if ok with having no dust covers the led are good.
But not for me: i sent back for a refund.
Lasfit customer service was very helpful thru this whole process.
Now looking to see if there are better halogen bulbs...

I installed the Lasfits with no problem, see the previous extensive thread covering this subject. As with most aftermarket solutions the design engineering is not even close to that of the OEM fixtures. They sort of work but I'm not sure they'll be reliable. I'll leave them in for now and carry everything needed to change them back to halogen if something goes wrong.
 
Definitely see the other thread. The Hikari brand LED kit I used was a pain to install, but I'm very happy with the end result. Glad I did it.

I agree. I did the same thing, same pain in the !@#$%^, but very happy with the result. Cheap too.

Did you get the original dust covers back on with no problem?

The lamps installed as shown in the photo. The plastic adapters are essential. I did have to loosen the three phillips screws to get the lamp to turn into the locked position. The more difficult part of the job was working the connector past the fan housing to tuck them in.

Maybe the plastic collars were installed backwards on your lamps? Or my Euro spec headlight assembly is different from yours?
