[@JuNlethalpoet]

Kia quoted me at $489 to do this. They are insane.

Great job saves money

[@rogerledsham8052]

Simple? Easy to understand? It was impossible to see how you were prizing off the clip because you covered the task with your hand and the light.

[@CarBleach]

you could literally see how he did it and he even did it after taking it off to show you. are you that incompetent?

[@raffinataonline]

Thank you

[@icu7771]

Can these be installed the wrong way (inverse)? Does it matter? On a Buick Lacerne the replacement struts did not appear to fit properly as the way GM had the original struts initially installed.

[@scottarmen9097]

Good job. Maybe time to upgrade your light though.

[@AlienPizza38]
