Just want to let Kia owners that need to replace bulb for headlight.
*YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REMOVE FRONT BUMPER. I REPEAT: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REMOVE FRONT BUMPER TO REPLACE BULB IN HEADLIGHT.
#1 REMOVE THE WATER RESERVOIR ( TWO SCREWS) AND YOU HAVE EASIER ACCESS TO HEADLIGHT.
#2 TURN THE HEADLIGHT CAP TO BULB COUNTER CLOCKWISE.
#3 REMOVE 3 SCREWS FROM BULB.
#4 UNHOOK THE BURNT BULB AND PLUG IN NEW BULB.
#5 SCREW EVERYTHING BACK IN AND YOURE GOOD TO GO.
NO NEED TO REMOVE FRONT BUMPER.
important note–don't touch the lamp replacement with bare hands. It reduces the life. Also, make sure the prongs of the lamp fit snugly into the plastic holders in the 8:00 position.
The cap cover is stuck, I've had several people try using wrenches and a hammer and screwdriver to try to tap it but the little plastic grips fall off and no one can turn it with their hands… do you know of a way or it there a tool that can be used to turn that cap cover? It's the driver side low beam on a 2011 optima hybrid. Thanks.. Jackie

Thank you, took my husband 26 minutes to replace the headlight after watching your video
