✽✽ NOTICE
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 replacevehicle light bulbs because other

remove the front bumper to get tothe bulb(s). Removing/installing the
front bumper or bumper hardware
can result in damage to the vehicle.

After heavy, driving rain or washing, headlight and taillight lenses could
appear frosty. This condition is
caused by the temperature differencebetween the lamp inside and outside.
This is similar to the condensation on
your windows inside your vehicleduring 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.
