2016 Kia Sorento Gets an HID Kit!

So after a few failed attempts at installing the cheap HID kits commonly found on the 'big auction' sites, i finally bit the bullet and visited www.TheRetrofitSource.com and ordered their infamous Morimoto 35watt kits.

I chose the H11a, 35watt (to keep the heat down) along with 4500k bulbs (for optimal light output). Along with your kit, you have the option to order a standard double-relay wiring harness, or a small CANBUS. In our particular car, you need the CANBUS to remove the "headlight out" warning. I placed my order on Wednesday, and by Monday afternoon, along with my mail, was the package containing the HID kit. Super fast shipping from their home-base in ATL,GA to my hometown in the Atlantic Coast.

Installing the HID kit was a breeze. just align each plug where it belongs and pop in your bulb. I decided to install one side first, and compare the new Morimoto kit to the cheap 'auction' kit. WOW! the difference speaks for itself. check out the youtube links below to see the difference for yourself.

After installing the kit, and going for a test drive - I am convinced: i am never going back to the past. its Morimoto from TheRetrofitSource.com or nothing!
