Kia 1864727009 Bulb

Do not come into direct contact with the bulb's exterior, as skin oils will cause overheating and the bulb's early demise. If there is contact it is recommended that the bulb should be cleaned with rubbing alcohol. In most models, from the year 2001 to 2006, the headlight housing carries the low-beam bulb, and an additional component called the combination light housing contains the high-beam bulb; however, for all these years, both bulbs are the same, and hence, both housings can be removed equally, once the headlight housing has been taken out. Start with the removal of the headlight housing and then, the cover at the rear of the unit is to be unscrewed anti-clockwise. Subsequently, it is necessary to remove the wiring and pull off the electrical connector. Pull out the retaining spring and take out the old bulb by unscrewing the spring clip touching the wire. Next, but ensuring that the fingers are gloved to avoid transferring body heat to the new bulb, fit the new bulb into the headlight housing. This is particularly true if the glass will be touched or becomes oily; clean it with rubbing alcohol before the glass is installed. Last, place the bulb retaining spring, reconnect the wires, put the cover back on, connect the wiring harness and put the headlight assembly back.

Start by removing the headlight housing to locate the bulb. Twist the bulb holder counterclockwise to remove it, then push the bulb into the holder and turn it counterclockwise to release it. Install the new bulb by pushing it in and turning it clockwise, then reinsert the holder and lock it in place.

Pry the lamp assembly from the door panel.

The new bulb assembly should be inserted into the headlight housing without touching the bulb glass with bare fingers.

For 1994 and 1995 models, start by disconnecting the electrical connector from the headlight bulb by squeezing the tabs and pulling it away. Next, rotate the headlight bulb retaining ring counterclockwise to remove it, then pull the bulb out of the housing. When installing a new bulb, grasp only the base, insert it into the headlight assembly ensuring the tabs align with the slots, and secure it with the retaining ring by rotating it clockwise. Finally, reconnect the electrical connector.
