LIGHT BULBS

WARNING

n Working on the lights

Prior to working on the light, firmly

apply the parking brake, ensure that

the ignition switch is turned to the

LOCK position and turn off the lights

to avoid sudden movement of the

vehicle and burning your fingers or

receiving an electric shock.

Use only the bulbs of the specified wat‐

tage.

CAUTION

Be sure to replace the burned-out

bulb with one of the same wattage

rating. Otherwise, it may cause

damage to the fuse or electric wiring

system.

CAUTION

The headlight aiming adjustment

may be necessary after the head‐

light assembly is reinstalled. If you

are unsure how to replace or aim the

headlight, consult a professional

workshop. Kia recommends to con‐

sult an authorized Kia dealer/service

partner.

CAUTION

• If you don’t have necessary tools,

the correct bulbs and the exper‐

tise, consult a professional work‐

shop. Kia recommends to consult

an authorized Kia dealer/service

partner. In many cases, it is diffi‐

cult to replace vehicle light bulbs

because other parts of the vehicle

must be removed before you can

get to the bulb. This is especially

true if you have to remove the

headlight assembly to get to the

bulb(s).

Removing/installing the headlight

assembly can result in damage to

the vehicle.

• Do not install additional bulb or

LED. If you install that, the lamp

may not be operated properly and

fuse box or electric wiring system

may have problem.

Maintenance

8-70

NOTICE

After driving in heavy rain or wash‐

ing, headlamp and taillamp lenses

could appear frosty. This condition is

caused by the temperature differ‐

ence between the lamp inside and

outside. This is similar to the con‐

densation on your windows inside

your vehicle during the rain and

doesn t indicate a problem with your

vehicle. If the water leaks into the

lamp bulb circuitry, have the vehicle

checked by a professional workshop.

Kia recommends to visit an author‐

ized Kia dealer/service partner.

WARNING

n Halogen bulbs

• Halogen bulbs contain pressurized

gas that will produce flying pieces

of glass if broken.

• Always handle them carefully, and

avoid scratches and abrasions. If

the bulbs are lit, avoid contact

with liquids. Never touch the glass

with bare hands. Residual oil may

cause the bulb to overheat and

burst when lit.

A bulb should be operated only

when installed in a headlight.

• If a bulb becomes damaged or

cracked, replace it immediately

and carefully dispose of it.

• Wear eye protection when chang‐

ing a bulb. Allow the bulb to cool

down before handling it.

1. Open the hood.
2. Disconnect the negative battery

cable.

3. Loosen the retaining bolts and re‐

move the headlamp assembly from

the body of the vehicle. If you can

reach to the bulb without removing

the headlamp assembly, you don t

need to do step 3.

4. Disconnect the power connector(s)

from the back of the headlamp as‐

sembly.

5. Remove the headlamp bulb cover

by turning it counterclockwise.

6. Disconnect the headlamp bulb

socket-connector.

Maintenance

8-72

7. Unsnap the headlamp bulb retain‐

ing wire by depressing the end and

pushing it upward.

8. Remove the bulb from the head‐

lamp assembly.

9. Install a new headlamp bulb and

snap the headlamp bulb retaining

wire into position by aligning the

wire with the groove on the bulb.

10. Connect the headlamp bulb socket-

connector.

11. Install the headlamp bulb cover by

turning it clockwise.

Headlight (Low, HID type), Position

light/DRL (LED type)

If the light does not operate, have the

system checked by a professional

workshop. Kia recommends to visit an

authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

WARNING

n HID Headlight low beam (if

equipped)

Do not attempt to replace or inspect

the low beam (XENON bulb) due to

electric shock danger. If the low

beam (XENON bulb) is not working,

have your vehicle checked by a pro‐

fessional workshop. Kia recommends

to visit an authorized Kia dealer/

service partner.

NOTICE

HID lamps have superior perform‐

ance vs. halogen bulbs. HID lamps

are estimated by the manufacturer

to last twice as long or longer than

halogen bulbs depending on their

frequency of use.

They will probably require replace‐

ment at some point in the life of the

vehicle.

Cycling the headlamps on and off

more than typical use will shorten

HID lamps life. HID lamps do not fail

in the same manner as halogen in‐

candescent lamps.

If a headlamp goes out after a peri‐

od of operation but will immediately
(Continued)

(Continued)

relight when the headlamp switch is

cycled it is likely the HID lamp needs

to be replaced. HID lighting compo‐

nents are more complex than con‐

ventional halogen bulbs thus have

higher replacement cost.
