working in 2019 Kia Sorento LX

I needed them to install aftermarket LED headlights in our new Sorento LX which stocked H7 halogen low beam projectors. I don't know why Kia can't just use a NORMAL mount like every other manufacturer but I'm glad these adapters exist so I can upgrade to quality LEDs. Just note that you have to glue these adapters to each lamp. You receive. They just twist when you try to screw them into the socket and the bulb falls out. Once glued to the bulb, or more specifically to its own bulb mounting adapter, it screws into the socket with ease. I also had to grind this adapter a bit because it was too high on the cylindrical part - it didn't reach my LED and didn't want to let it go into the headlight. Luckily it was pretty easy to make since it's just plastic. I didn't have to modify the 3 "petals" that actually fix it in the headlight socket. It probably depends on what kind of LED you get. I used this NightEye H7: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D91KCPK - great clean white light and with this adapter it fits easily in the headlight of our 2019 Sorento. I didn't even have to modify the inside of the headlight cover like some people on the Kia forums have done for their LEDs.

Pros
