Exploring the possibility of retrofitting features in Indian Kia cars

I was wondering if there is any way to do retrofits to KIA cars in India? Australian spec cars have better headlights, rear fog lamps, puddle lamps, vanity mirror lights, glovebox lights, and so on.

BHPian blogslogger recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

Being a former owner of a Jetta, I had lots of fun tweaking settings in my car using VCDS. I was also able to activate a lot of hidden features, install euro-spec parts like 12K OPS, Discover Meida, and Instrument Cluster tweaks, and enable both side rear fog lamps, to name a few.

I was wondering if there is any way to do retrofits to KIA cars in India? Australian spec cars have better headlights, rear fog lamps, puddle lamps, vanity mirror lights, glovebox lights, and so on. Most of them quality of life features. I've tried searching, but there does not seem to be a KIA expert. Any inputs will be appreciated.

Here's what BHPian saikishor had to say on the matter:

I am assuming the platforms of Kia cars are very different to those of global spec cars, unlike VW where they launched the global spec models as is in India. I think the Seltos is based on a separate Indian platform called SP2i(please correct me if I am wring), and hence retrofitting international model parts might not be possible.
