Kia Sportage - HOW TO - Glowing Vents
Want to spruce up the interior of you Sportage even more? Add some custom LEDs in the vents!
The LEDs are bright and impressive. They are the same LEDs I used for the grille and engine bay - be sure to watch those videos as well!
This was a custom job utilizing the Sportage's own vents and just adding LED strips inside them with their own controller. For less than $70 and a few hours of your time, this transformation is well worth it and keeps the functionality of the vents.

With any kind of modifications, if you attempt this, you do so at your own risk and you will assume all responsibility for your own vehicle.
Help me get a bigger and wider set of wheels and tires for this thing! It will look so good! Much appreciated: https://gofund.me/ad1b0a93b
