2021 Rear tailights swap on pre21 year models?

[Random386]

Just wanna make it a thread n see if anyone has done this or if its even possible in the near future.

They look identical so I would say its just plug n play. But we will see

People have already done it. They do fit. Wiring j believe is different for turn signals but unsure. nick at khartunerz did kt. 2021 korean model. 2021 usa is the same as a note.

Nick also said it is not plug and play. Lots of work involved including modification of the deck lid. Likely inside so that they mount flush. This will be a spendy "upgrade" as the lights alone are $1,300 USD. Then there's the time/labour to get them working.

Better off just trading in for a new model if you're looking at a 2k USD taillight swap.

What is the difference between the years?

The middle piece is lit up like a dodge or audi a7, like a linear line instead of just the two side lights

Nah, I got gt2 19 for a good price n mileage. Im not gonna upgrade over just tailights n a uprated screen/uvo

I don't really like the middle piece being lit up. I also wish the tails were separated instead of having a useless piece in the middle like the 18-20 or looking similar to a charger on the 21. I do however love the sequential turn signals!

I think it's funny that people still compare the lightbar tail lights to a Charger. They look nothing a like. These look way more similar to the Audi/Porsche tail lights. That said, i'm not a fan of lightbar tail lights but do like the sequential turn signals.

The shape of the light panel is similar, wouldn't you agree? Not sure why Kia just didn't leave out the middle section and have 2 individual lights, woul look much better imo.

Slightly but lit up they look nothing alike.

 

[Transmetal]

Yeah I meant the overall shape, not how they light up.

I did not realize those made it to the US for 2021. I thought they were for KDM.

I had an c7 a6 n loved the lights on that car. Wouldn't mind them over the 2021 lights on the stinger ngl.

Oh come on. Of course they look similar. And when I was new to my car I thought the first Charger I finally bothered to notice, in the dark (not a car guy here), was maybe a Stinger with some aftermarket rear lights upgrade. The squared tailpipes convinced me that I was probably mistaken; then a more side-on view proved my error. I still feel silly about, but it did happen.

The current KIA STINGER does favor the Charger the new 2022 Stinger favors a Porsche.

You're right, they aren't on USDM models, unfortunately.

I really like these, spendy as hell but they closer match the front turn signals, shoulda been this way from the factory imo.
