Do you want to replace the front headlight bulbs on a Kia Optima but don't know how? Follow this guide in the video. Open the bonnet and secure it. Locate the headlight inspection caps (located at the rear of the headlight) and remove them.

At this point, you will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull out the bulb holders from the headlight and extract the damaged bulb with the help of a screwdriver. Install the new bulbs (ensuring they are the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holders back into the headlight housing.

Finally, close the headlights with the inspection caps. Test the lights to ensure they work correctly.
