Does anyone know where I might be able to order LED tail lights from? I bought the EX without the premium package because I wanted the wireless CarPlay, but really wanted the LED tail lights.

I would reach out to some salvage yards. I saw a post the other day that was referencing multiple crashed k5's. Otherwise probably only kia and they're probably not available yet. And stupid expensive

I actually was able to locate all of the parts for what I think is a reasonable cost. However, I have reached out to two Kia dealerships and Kia USA (as well as a custom shop my dealership runs) and they have all said that if the car isn't wired for LED already, they can't be used. I'm sure that there is a way, but unfortunately I wouldn't know where to even start. Guess I'll wait a while and see if anyone ends up doing it before me with some instructions.

You could try reaching out to retrofitsource.com see if they have any solutions

Thanks! I actually found/downloaded the entire electrical diagrams for the tail lights last night, and it appears that the change could be done relatively easily (if i'm reading the diagrams correctly anyway)

I am in the same boat as you. If you figure it out would you mind sharing?

Please share your findings. Could you post link to diagram as I too will be doing this to my new K5. Thanks!!!

Will do. Probably won’t be doing the upgrade until at least mid summer though, so it will be a while.

I need to organize the screenshots in some kind of formatting that makes sense. Once I do, I will throw it on google drive and share it out.

Does the non premium ex not have the light bar going across the rear? I have the ex and it doesn't have the full lights going across is this normal?

in case you didn’t see it

Wiring diagrams for tail lights

Here are the electrical diagrams for the tail lights. Does anyone have experience with these to determine if converting to LED tail lights is possible?
