Best Answer

You have to take the front engine cover off by removing the plastic screw and bushings. Then pull up the metal hold-downs on the rear cover of the headlight. There is a spring-loaded tensioner holding the bulb in. You need to push forward (towards front of vehicle) and slip out from under the bracket. Then you just unplug the bulb and replace. Make sure not to touch the new bulb with bare hands, as the oil will decrease the life span.

These directions will make more sense once you have the rear cover off and can see all the parts.

Of course, everything is easier to say than do!

How change head lamp on 2004 Kia Amanti?

I had to take mine to the dealership....they have to take the whole front end off to get to the headlight. it costs about 65.00 to change it and only 13.00 for the bulb. since i had just had my car about 5 months, they did it for free and did not charge me except for the bulb. two months later, the other side went out.....they did not charge me for that side either. Unless, you are a mechanic, you cannot get to it.
