To replace the front headlight bulb on a Kia Rio, open the bonnet to access the rear of the headlight corresponding to the bulb that needs replacing. Here, you will find the circular protective cover, which must be removed to access the internal bulb.

Disconnect the bulb from the connector and pull it out of its housing to insert the new one, connecting it to the connector; finally, close everything with the circular cover, ensuring the device is functioning.
