In this video we can see that changing any of the front bulbs of the Kia Picanto is not as easy as it seems: in fact, the engine inside the compartment is so compact that there is no room to insert hands inside, not even for the headlights. We must therefore remove the plastic cover above the headlights and the bumper, the front grille that is attached to the bumper.

If we wanted to change the turn signal bulb instead, the situation worsens, because the bulb is inside the bodywork so we will have to also remove the side panel: instead the low beam bulbs, at least on the right side, if you don't have too big hands, are accessible.

The situation worsens on the left side, where it is necessary to remove the battery and the fuse box, or dismantle the entire front part, as for the right headlight.
