So itll plug in perfectly then? is the connecting bulb end different than the one pictured on the website or will it just plainly fit?

For descendants. I installed many sets of LED h7. I know from my experience:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Auto-Ca ... 4c140e3892
This kind is bad. It quickly burns, badly mounts in the headlamp.
2. this kind:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2x-H4-H ... f5c2131593
Shines brightly. It does not spoil quickly. Does not have a border Light - shadow
3. This Kind:

This type of led shines brighter than Xenon. It has CanBUS and works very long. There is no border light - shadow

4 This one:

This type of led glows worse than the others, between halogen H7 - xenon. It has CanBUS and works very long. It has a border of light shade

Fits perfectly to kizashi. No need to cut holes. It has light borders. It has CanBUS and shines brighter than Xenon. Live longer than Halogen h7

Did you put the LED bulbs in the low beam projectors? My DRL/high beam LED bulbs are similar to the ones in your last link. I have HIDs in my low beams but I was curious about this LED design in the low beams.
Do you have any photos of the light pattern? Did you also put the LED drivers into the headlight?

Yes I have mounted ledy from given links in my cars. Unfortunately my vehicles do not have lenses but a classic vehicle reflector. The light will shine differently as in the lens. However, if you want, I can take you pictures of the glowing headlamp on the wall of my garage. So that you can see the limits of light and shadow

Your low beams aren't projector lenses in your Kizashi? I think all markets have low beam projectors. I am well aware that multi-reflector headlights (classic design) will shine the LED light differently than a projector lens. I just assumed you put the LED kit in the Kizashi's low beam projector.

Just to be clear, I've labeled the Kizashi's headlight in respect to their bulbs and what I'm referencing.

Ordinary spotlight I have in my other vehicles. Kizashi recently bought and just ordered 2x h7 Led. In about 3 weeks I will receive goods from China. I will tell you so if in the ordinary spotlight, Led gives boundaries, light shade. The lens will perfectly illuminate so halogen h7, only much brighter.

Any update on your install? I have no working bulbs in the low-beams so the wife is on me about fixing them...

Also looking for a LED kit for low beams, which would ideally fit inside the dust caps, anybody has a link to what they installed? Getting tired of dropping the front bumper every 8-12 months when it burns out on the left @ $15-20/bulb cost + the time spent. Also: is there's a benefit to hanging parts outside the dust cap? Did you drill the original cap (what tools were needed)? If replaced the original, what did you use instead (please link if possible)? I know there're extensions, like these: https://hidkitpros.com/shop/rubber-hous ... xtensions/ , even so it maybe too tight to fit one behind the driver's side light. Thanks!

Most LED bulbs will fit because the bulb housing is recessed into the headlight enough. Just make sure that if you go with an LED bulb, the heat sink and fan aren't too big, especially in diameter. You will have absolutely no issues fitting in an HID bulb given they have no cooling apparatus. This makes them actually easier to fit and more reliable concerning heat issues. LED vs. HID, each have pros and cons.

As for drilling the dust caps, it will be required in most cases because whether LED or HID, they often have external in-line components such LED drivers and HID ballasts that will not fit inside the headlight. Drilling the caps allows for the bulb wires to run out so the driver or ballast can be externally mounted.

I personally have HIDs for my Low beams and LEDs for my DRL/High beams. For getting an idea of what an installation is going to be like, here's my write-up on the LED kit. You can see in the pictures how I have drilled caps and mounted the drivers and capacitor under the headlight.

with experience I recommend buying these led .
https://m.aliexpress.com/item/328391544 ... 2839154411
the seller is reliable and honest. guarantees a minimum of one year. ledy are very well made and 100% can be set. if someone wants a cheaper option, a little weak (but quietly shadowy and so better than usual h7) I recommend this led h7.

The bulb also has a 2-year warranty and is 100% adjustable, so as not to blind the other drivers.
