Kia Stinger - How To - Glowing OEM Vents
Do you want to keep the OEM look of your vents but just have them glow? This video will show you what I did to my Kia Stinger's vents to make them really pop during the day and especially at night.
This little mod just boosted the interior of this car that much more!
The LEDs are bright and impressive. They are the same LEDs I used for my exterior side vents and engine bay - be sure to watch those videos as well!
Note: These are not the pre-made alternate style (Mercedes) vents that would had required cutting, dremeling, and glueing pieces together.
This was a custom job utilizing the Stinger's own vents and just adding LED strips inside them with their own controller. This way was cheaper and easier. For less than $70 and a few hours of your time, this transformation is well worth it, keeps the functionality of the vents, and overall better IMO.
