Video tutorial

In this video, you will see that installing reading lights on the Kia Stonic and Rio is simpler than it seems. You will need a ceiling light, which can be found on AliExpress with code 1005006334847882 for £8.82, plus delivery charges of £4.76; a star screwdriver, a plastic spatula, and cable ties.

For safety, it is best to disconnect the battery before working on the electrical system. Using the spatula, gently remove the fabric cover near the existing light fittings above the front seats: if there are existing connectors, unlock them, connect the wires of the new lights to the original connectors.

If the model does not have a pre-wiring, power it with dedicated wires, ensuring correct polarity, and secure the wires with cable ties. Before closing everything, reconnect the battery and test the functionality, then reposition the roof panel, pressing until you hear the click of the fastening.
