My headlight went out Sunday, 2/23/2015. I purchased a bulb from our local auto parts store and went home thinking I could change the bulb myself. I took out my trusty car manual and tried to get directions on changing the bulb myself. After following the instructions, I was still unable to get to the bulb.
At this point I went to the internet. My Kia will be 2 years old in May 2015. Low and behold, I find out you have to take off the front bumper just to change the headlight. In a panic, I call the dealership, Sale Kia of Kingston, they inform me that even though I have the bulb, it will cost me $100.00 to take off the bumper, just to change the light. Maybe I should buy another bulb and change both and that way I could be saving myself another $100.00.
Trading for this Optima was the worst mistake I could have made. DON"T BUY A KIA. Whew!! I feel better now. I'm retired, so I guess my next step is to start checking the want-ads to find me a job to save up for a down payment on another car, and you can believe it won't be a KIA.
