Headlamp low (HID), Positionlamp (LED)/Side markerlamp(LED) replacement
If the light bulb does not operate,
have the vehicle checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.
✽ ✽ 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 replacement 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 incandes-
cent lamps. If a headlamp goes out
after a period of operation but will
immediately relamp when the head-
lamp switch is cycled it is likely the
HID lamp needs to be replaced. HID
lamping components are more com-
plex than conventional halogen
bulbs thus have higher replacement
cost.
Side repeater lamp replace-
ment
If the light bulb does not
operate,have the vehicle checked by
an authorized Kia dealer. A skilled
technician should check or repair the
side repeater lamp, for it may dam-
age related out side mirror parts of
the vehicle.
