How to replace the front headlight bulbs in the KIA Optima?

Model: Kia Optima / K5 MK 3, TF - Years 2010-2015
Part: Headlight bulb

In this tutorial, we can see how to replace the front headlight bulbs in the KIA Optima, an extremely simple and quick operation. First of all, make sure that the key is not inserted, so that you can work safely, then open the hood, locate the circular cap at the back of the headlight in question and remove it. Next, grab the old bulb, rotate it slightly counterclockwise and remove it from the housing. If the negative terminal of the battery obstructs the operation, you can loosen it with a 10mm wrench and move it slightly. To put everything back together, just follow the reverse procedure.
