In this tutorial we can see how to disassemble the front headlights in the KIA Optima, an extremely simple and fast operation. First of all, make sure that the key is not inserted, then open the hood and, using a 10mm socket wrench, unscrew both the three screws located on the upper side of the bumper and the additional screws accessible from inside the wheel arches.

Then release the plastic clips, remove the upper cover, and separate the bumper from the frame. At this point, all that remains is to unscrew the fixing bolts of the headlights and disconnect the power connectors.
