Kia Sportage - Extra Lights & Sounds

Описание: Here are some mods I've made to make my Kia Sportage look and sound nicer.

I've added LEDs to the front grille and engine bay. These are motorcycle LEDs so they are weather-proof and heat resistant. The engine bay isn't something to cheer about, but now it looks cool at least. The LEDs in the grille however look awesome especially when the automatic louvers function.

I also changed out the dull incandescent license plate bulbs to LEDs to make them brighter and more modern looking.

On the interior I added footwell LEDs to give it a nice ambient glow. I modified it by cutting the cigarette lighter out and adding a fuse tap to hide the wires.
I then utilized the USB-C ports on the seats to also have LEDs shine.

For sound, I added the Cerwin-Vega powered subwoofer in the spare wheel well to add bass to the sound system as the factory audio is lacking bass. It now sounds great as it should and more. It's a nice compliment to the existing Harmon Kardon sound system.

Lastly, I added two electric air horns. I removed the front bumper (check out my other video on how it's done) to tap into the two factory horns as I didn't want a seperate switch for the horns. I then powered them up with a 12v relay connected at the fuse box. When I press the horn on the steering wheel all 4 horns sound at once. Very loud just how I like it!

This video is not necessarily a How-To video, but more to show some of my ideas.
