LIGHT BULBS
Use only the bulbs of the specifiedwattage.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

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.

apply the parking brake, ensure
that the ignition switch is turned to

gers or receiving an electric shock.
