I am not sure what question you are asking, but if you are asking why you are always having to change the brake light on your Kia Optima...

I own a 2007 Kia Optima, and before that I owned a 2005 Kia Rio. In the YEAR that I owned the Rio, I changed the brake light four times. Since I have owned the Optima, about 18 months, I have changed the rear light 3 times and the headlight once. (actually, I never changed the lights. Jiffy Lube or Grease Monkey changed them for a nominal fee, usually around $5, because I don't think a rocket scientist with both an engineering degree and training from NASA could figure out how to change that high-riding son-of-a-bitch tail light.)

But I digress...

Hopefully that will answer both questions, because if you are asking what the procedure for changing the light is, obviously I have no idea, other than to advise you to take you car to Jiffy-Lube. Good Luck.

Just in case Kia has you roped into their "Customer's for Life" program, the Kia dealership will also happily replace any head or tail lights for you during your $45 oil change for around $20. No, I'm not kidding.
