  1. The Service Center
    Having a problem with my right rear turn signal! A while ago it stopped working, the obvious problem is the light is burnt out... could not get it out in the store parking lot, so i left it for another day when i had light and more time. Well, after a week it started working again! Then a...

    Have 2015 SXL. Yesterday morning, sitting in highway traffic jam for well over an hour. When finally got going again, immediately noticed absence of turbo. Have had that happen a few times on morning commute starts, and a simple engine stop and restart fixes it (like a software glitch). When I...

    I purchased a $30 item to turn LED tail lights into turn signals. I never understood why auto manufacturers put old style amber turns with LED brake/parking lights . Anyhow the vids and pics are below. If you do this mod the left side has two brake wires (pink) and the turn is white. You will...

    I have a 2014 Optima EX and want to change out the OEM turn signal bulbs to LED bulbs. But, it seems like I might have to take apart part of the front end to get to the bulbs. Does anyone have a link to either a video or written directions (showing an easier way) on how to change out the bulbs...

    I have a 13 EX with the Infinity system. For the past six months it seems the Sirius/XM has to acquire a signal 4 or 5 times every time I change to it from radio or CD. It did not at this way when new. Anyone else experience this? I am not even sure if this is just normal interference and a...
  7. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    This could be a setting or operator error, but I figured if anyone knew if this was an issue it would be this place. I’m driving a 14 EX and I noticed that my side mirrors are not lighting up when I’m turning. I’ve tested this when I’m stopped and behind a vehicle and can see my cars...

    Hey Gang! Been a while since I've been here and I've exhausted the search bar in looking for answers. I've had installed for three years now all LED exterior lights where possible (switchbacks, reverse, fogs, side markers, etc) and when I installed them back in the day, I used the inline...

    Does anyone have video or pics of a 2014 or 2015 (preferably SX or SXL w/stock led tails) with aftermarket LED rear turn signal bulbs? I don't know what color would look best behind the red lens.. Red, amber or white. The stock halogen bulb is white. Questions for each color: Does amber LED...

    Has anyone tried this mod from Diode Dynamics? I know there is the ExLED one, but it is sold out. I'm still going for that look though. Tail as Turn Module, DIY - Tail as Turn Modules - All Products
  11. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Hello, Just sharing bit of if any body is interested. I like the clear lenses to be clear, and not have the orange glow from the orange turn signal bulbs. You can buy "stealth bulbs" that have a coating on them, but that's expensive ($19.99 each). I read on some other forums and did a DIY...
  12. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I'm trying to get my KDM corner lights to work in conjunction to my turn signals. I want them to stay on constant when I use my turn signal lights and turn off when turn signal lights turn off. My problem is when I hooked them up to a relay as a trigger they pulsate like the turn signals. I...

  14. The Service Center
    Just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this. When switching lanes, I will signal left or right. Once I move the turn signal level back into its "neutral" center position the flashing of the previous turn will continue. It feels like the turn signal level isn't "clicking"...

    My 1st post. My Optima fog lamps only come on when I signal to make a right turn. As soon as the turn lever returns to a neutral position the fog lights go out. Thoughts?

    I wanted to replace my front turn signals with LEDS with load resistors & I couldn't find the bulb, I remember in my 2011, it had like a long plastic arm that you twist & remove the bulb, looks like in the new cars it's hidden in the most retarded place, you'll have to remove the bumper cover &...
