making them wonder what just passed em (complete badge removal only emblems remain) post your thoughts 🤔

Obviously aliens. I can tell by the license plate border. 😂 Looking good! Those black door handles accents the blacked out trims and badge on that white body really well!

Also, I hope your dealer didn't forget to put on your license plate before you left the lot! I had that happen to me but thankfully I was still in the area when I found out and it wasn't uncommon to see dealer plates around for test drives. lol

I still haven't received my plates and it's well past the 45 day temp tag they give you. After contacting them multiple times about my plates they said it's fine to still drive even though the tag is expired, they said slc pd is aware of the long wait for plates and shouldn't ticket me and if so they will pay the ticket (kia dealership).
My plates frame if you were mentioning in your post is a vape company that produces juice. I manage a vape shop and liked the red on it.

going with a touch of red.

Nice, are those red EL wires? Did also install them for the rear doors?

 

[Snowman88]

Out of curiosity what wires did you tap into to power them in the doors? Trying to do this in my 2022 K5 EX

 

[Snowman88]

They aren't electrical by any means they are I guess considered gap filler they do sell a led type though I thought it was a bit loud for my taste. Here's pics of the back doors in a hurry so bare with me.

Those actually look really nice even without the lights! You really went ham on those strips. 😂

I'm gonna try those EL wires when I get back and see how they are. They aren't RGB but I kind of like the purple or the ice blue lighting effects. lol

Ive got the wires ran but now I just need to figure out where to tap them into. Lol I’ve been trying to find schematics online that way I’m not just hacking into the stock harness but haven’t had any luck yet.

I think if you search for adding a Fuse you will see something help3

The dash is easy enough but the doors are a little more complicated

 

[KunoMochi]

I was maybe thinking of an adapter to tap into the power for the windows and/or locks. Just hope it has enough power for everything. lol

That’s what I did. Found a 12v-5v usb converter and tapped into the mirrors. Finally finished the install today. Turned out better than I thought it would.

Finally got my EL lighting installed.

Nice! I've been wondering something about the EL wires... Have you noticed any buzzing noises coming from them?
