think there is a group buy in K5 FB for this

I have already received mine. from the instruction manual, it looks like we need to remove the bumper to install it. DAMM!!!

Now waiting for the full strip tail light. When receive all, I will send for installation. Or you want to do it for me?

I bought 1 set 4 pieces. I heard KIA Malaysia is selling each side (the outer one) for almost 1K. I intend to keep or sell the outer one just incase someone needs it.

I saw the guide from Optima forums. But I am not up to that level yet. You can ask me to replace bulb, not a problem,  but to remove bumper...

I  bought the full set including the outer light. But I only intend to change the inner one only and keep the outer one for backup since KIA MALAYSIA is selling each side (the outer one) for almost 1K

What warranty do they cover for tail lights? 

You are right, have to re-wire. Because I have seen someone already did it (one of the owner here), thats why I dare to buy.

Yes, someone actually ordered from Jayong Mall just the inner part for about 350USD. That one have to speacial order, email to Jayong Mall.

That's the reason why I never got that bro. The complete tail light is nice. Shouldn't do too much..

I am also interested in the full tail lights trip. But I don't see the point in buying the full set of light. Currently trying to work out from a contact to purchase both the left and right inner tail light only.. Hope to get a good deal. Then I ll get someone to fix it for me..

The retail price RM1980..i trade in my original rims RM600(take it or keep it)  ..so it becomes 1380..but plus the screws2 thing and alignment balancing it became RM1680

Done my full strip 2 Way LED Tail Light.

So is the inner lights on during normal driving or does it only light up when u brake? Or both?

Both. normal night driving and brake. Exactly the same function as the outer lights.

Dear all K5 owner,

Can somebody share any problem they faced with the K5 so far..? Like engine, electronic parts, suspension and some others things? Appreciated for all sharing bcoz i'm planning to get 1 Bright Silver soon..

For me i faced some jumpy steering issue but i guess thats just the way the car is. Not really a problem or defect. But to try and solve this 'issue', Naza Kia offered to replace both my rear shock absorbers FOC. But no difference cuz like i said before, its not really a defect. But my current problem is the stale smell for about 5 secs from the aircon when u switch it on during a cold start. But Naza Kia have now ordered a replacement aircon filter just to see if it solves the problem. Ive also faced the vibrating wiper issue for some time. Naza has now odered a replacement wiper arm & new blades for me although wipers are not covered under warranty. Naza Kia also replaced both my front fog lamps FOC when the plastic cover became bent on 1 side. Again not really their fault but they still replaced out of goodwill. No issues since then.

So far Naza Kia have been very good with the after sales service and warranty claims. But they need to reduce the lead time of replacement parts which is too long now.

I just did my 10,000km 2nd service last week and it cost me about RM280 inclusive fully syn oil, filter, allignment, balancing and wash.

Thanks. This assessment is useful to me.

Count me in too!

Did u know that Volkswagen (VW) has bought over Audi, Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini, Bugatti and Ducati? Amazing! 

Comrades, I've got a few problems with my car, which the SC said are common among K5s, do you have such problems?

1) the lumbar support mechanism has free play, meaning when I accelerate and decelerate, i can feel and hear a "cluck" sound from the seat, SC said it's common. My lumbar support is just lightly adjusted, around 10-20% from the off position.
2) the rear view mirror has poor quality plastics, it makes cracking noise when you squeeze it lightly or when the interior is cooling down from the hot sun. SC said it is common.
3) and off course there're the funny noises from all over the cabin

SC told me it's normal, just accept it. I disagree loh, this is not Proton, so I hope they don't treat their customers the Proton way. Btw, i'm not being overly fussy, ironically, the Rondo that they loaned me for two weeks didn't have all these annoying noises.

I'm planning to escalate my complaints and ensure that these problems are rectified.

Guys...anyone interested to get this full led inner tail light?..i am looking for minimum 10 participants for a group purchase. Price is USD240 only....
