Its most likely a marker light to meet a requirement in a different region.. I know its not functional in my U.S. car without hids.. I bet you could wire it up as a DRL or a Marker light..

My car has hid's and its non functioning.

We need to ask someone from Canada if it's the DRL. Isn't someone on the forum from up north?

I'll check mine when I get home.

Canadian model without HIDs

Doesn't do anything on mine. 2016 forte5 with HID's. Ontario Canada.

I had a look at ours when the wife got home a bit ago, and I'm pretty sure it is a light sensor for the automatic lights. It's definitely not a light its self.

I thought the sensor for the auto on is on the dash? I will check mine today and see.

There is no sensor on the dash. The only thing that is up there, is a little square section with a red led in the center that flashes when the security system is armed. My Sportage on the other hand, does have a sensor on the dash.

From what I see on here it is on the dash

Kia Forte: Component Location - Auto Lighting Control System - Body Electrical System - Kia Forte TD 2014-2015 Service Manual

Could still be wrong though lol

Yeah if the light sensor was in the lights it would just turn them off as soon as it turned them on heh.

What is this "auto leveling" because my car said it had it and I am almost positive it doesn't...

Korea only option

-_-

Why did they put it on the sticker then.. Let's all sue for a hunch of money... Or free parts for life!

I raised hell about it to my dealer lol . When I bought the first YD F5 ex version . It's pretty cool though . The lights go up , down and side to side like the Mazda 3 does in the HID option . I don't know what would be required totally but I can definate to say it's a different harness and if it's like the JDM and euro conversions motors will be needed

The auto leveling is for weight in the back. Keeps the lights at the proper height to avoid blinding traffic. Sensor is up by the antenna
