[VENDOR][FS]: Kia Stinger - Sequential LED Door Scuff Plates - K8 Stinger Store

[Daniel @ K8 Stinger Store]

Would the stainless steel ones also be lit? If so, count me in!! I need that kind of durability..

Hey GT2Seattle,

Thank you for your interest in the plates. Pauls's post was made over a year ago and unfortunately, we currently do not carry these in stainless steel.

Please reach out if you have any other questions.

Hey everyone! I just bought these exact ones for my GT2 and spent a full afternoon troubleshooting them. The instructions are all in korean and there really aren't any translations of it, but I finally figured it out and they're working flawlessly! See details below:

1. Each light has two wires, both are black, but one has a stripe on it. The one with the stripe is negative, the solid black is positive ("Pos and Neg Wires" photo)
2. All lights run off 12v
3. You can wire the lights in parallel, on my car I ran the scuff plate's wiring so the left rear door's run forward and then connected together with the driver's door wires, and then to the fuse panel
4. I connected the ground to a chassis connected bolt (to the left of the fuse panel, I can take a photo if you want but pick a chassis ground wherever you like really)
5. I connected the 12v power to the Interior Lamp fuse (4th one from the left, top row) and used a fuse splitter. (the other extra bits in there are for my dashcam, ignore those, "Fuse Panel" photo)
6. THE TROUBLE - so as you can see ("The Two Dots" photo), the plates come with a protective film over them and there are two dots, one red - one blue. The red one is to change the flash pattern, the blue one is for one of the four magnets that come with the kit. Each plate has a magnetic sensor in it so it knows when the door is ajar or not, this magnetic sensor turns them on/off. THE BLUE DOT DOES NOT LINE UP WITH THE ACTUAL SENSOR! Lay the magnet on the plate while the lights are on and slide it around a little until the lights shut off. It should be pretty close to where I'm pointing ("Magnetic Sensor Location Approximately" photo)
7. Once you find a spot where you can set the magnet down, take your hand away, and the lights stay off you will need to close your door and the magnet will pop up to the door and show you where you need to stick it.
8. Move the magnet from where it stuck to the door down just far enough so it's entirely on the flat surface of the underside of the door.
9. Now try closing the door again, wait a second, and then open it - you should see the lights turn on (i recommend picking a slow pattern so you can see the animation and know that it's them doing the turning on sequence)
10. Worked? great! stick the magnet to the door in that exact spot then move on to the others following the same process!

Hope that saves someone else a few hours! Now I just have to do the passenger side............ good thing we love our cars

(EDIT) I also want to note that you *could* wire these plates to constant power if you wanted, the magnets would turn them off when the door closes, but... why bother if you don't have to? one less thing to worry about battery drain with. These lights *do* turn off automatically after they've been on for 2mins (roughly) and if you're using the magnets then closing the door and opening it again will make it do the animation again and leave them on for another 2mins or so.

(DOUBLE EDIT) thank you to whoever deleted my follow up reply to my own post, I couldn't figure out how to do it and didn't realize editing was a thing until right after - new here

Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together for others.

I think this will definitely be helpful as we have a lot of customers asking about an install guide.

I was one of them yesterday XD Thank you David from K8 for the quick reply over the weekend, even if you weren't able to do much it was still some moral support lol

What power source did you use for passenger side?

What power source did you use for passenger side?

Sorry, I didn't see this, no notification. But I ran the power for the passenger side from the fuse panel under the steering wheel (avoiding the knee airbag), through the center behind the console, and behind the glove box. Ground I just attached to chassis. on the passenger side. This photo was not from this install, but it shows the wire. I zip tied it up out of the way of everything after this photo was taken.

Also, I recommend getting clear gorilla RV roof repair tape from home depot and applying that over top of the magnets on the underside of the doors. I have had an issue where the rear scuff plates kind of pop up in the middle due to how curved the door frame is. It's probably because I installed them on a cooler day and didn't hold long enough if I were to guess. It's not bad enough to make me take them off and put different adhesive on, but what happened was they started to touch the magnets when the doors were closed and the magnets actually started to rust and damage the coating on the scuff plate. I just put the clear gorilla tape over the magnets on all four doors this weekend to prevent the magnets from corroding any further and to help press the scuff plates down while the doors are closed since it adds thickness to it.
