So far I replaced all interior lighting with LED Lights, Foot Courtesy Lights, Vanity Mirrors, Dome and Map Lights. Exterior changed the License Plate lights.

Next on the list is my HID Lights, which I already have just haven't got to it yet, LED 6000k switchback Turn Signals and LED 6000k Fog Lights.

After this, I think I'll be done with the light replacements! I'll send a list soon with all the lights and sized that I used and how to replace them all when I get them all done.

Wow! That's a pretty big job. I bet it made a nice difference.

Looking forward to the list. Who did you buy the lamps from?

I have the hids for the fogs, and just got my rear reflector lights in today but have no idea how hard the install with the sonar in the rear will be. I have the front turn switchbacks but cant figure out what wires to tap into for the resistors.

Did you install the fogs yourself? If so, how hard were they to change? Did you try the switchbacks without the resistors first? Some cars will work without them. Doesn't hurt to try, if they blink really really fast then you know you will need it.

There should be some documentation or even YouTube for help. Try this site: Super Bright Car LED Lights, LED Bulbs, Halo Headlights, LED Tail Lights

Thanks! There is a great local performance shop where I get most of my parts here in Maryland. Got the D1S 6000k Bulbs for $100.00 but you can get them pretty much anywhere online.

Sounds good man. I did the same on my Optima. Haven't touched the Cadenza yet.

Would you guys be interested in us picking up lighting for the Cadenza?

They need the resistors but I can not find a wiring diagram for them to splice into yet. I might have my dealer try to do the work or find a shop. I did this on the optima I had and it was easy.

You should be able to do this yourself and save some money. Take a look at these links. If these don't work, just have to keep searching for videos and diagrams.

Even though its for a different car, should be similar to the way you hook it up. You will always have a positive and a ground wire.

Nice! His hard was the fog light replacements? Tue license plates I used 194 wedge bulbs.

 

[Beezwax]

any error codes with the LED wedges for license plate lights?

 

[markiemark]

he turned the wheel and just popped out the wheel lining and stuck his hand in between and swapped out the bulb.. looked easy.

No errors and fit like a charm!

im assuming you go in through inside the trunk... pull back the liner?

Yeah its pretty simple,

- Remove all the black screws inside the liner
- Courtesy close trunk handle, get a flat head and pop the front cover off to gain access to the two screws inside it.
- Pull the liner off
- Twist to loosen the sockets and pull out the connector with the bulbs.

Job takes like 10mins or less.

Yeah I'm going to order the LED Turn Signal Switchbacks, it will bring another level of elegance to the car.

 

[murrwin320]

Got my 6000K HID Lights installed versus the Stock 4300K! I will make a video today or tomorrow and post on a new thread!

Hey guys, how did you take the center roof thing down to install the map lights? And did anyone figure out where I have to splice in the load resisters for the front blinkers? Thanks in advance for your help!
