BULB REPLACEMENT

✽

NOTICE

CAUTION

WARNING - Working on

the lights

After heavy, driving rain or washing,

headlight and taillight lenses could

appear frosty. This condition is

caused by the temperature difference

between the lamp inside and outside.

This is similar to the condensation 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 cir-

cuitry, have the vehicle checked by

an Authorized Kia Dealer.

If you don’t have necessary

tools, the correct bulbs and the

expertise, consult an Authorized

Kia Dealer. In many cases, it is

difficult 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 front bumper to get to

the bulb(s). Removing/installing

the front bumper or bumper hard-

ware can result in damage to the

vehicle.

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 vehi-

cle and burning your fingers or

receiving an electric shock.

Use only the bulbs of the specified

wattage.

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.
