You don’t have to remove the whole unit. Remove the white plug connector, then the reddish bulb socket comes out easily. Carefully move the wires to the side, and pop it out. I changed my 18 Optima bulb outside the auto parts store with zero tools.
I was ganna say same thing lol
@@rageoner7242 the white socket is in the way of the red bulb socket on the 2016 kia unfortunately
@@rageoner7242 is the 2015 and 2016 Kia the same as far as the bulbs?
I thought so cus he making this look a lil hard
Thanks man thus comment was more helpful than the video
And there it is.. no talking just straight to it.. love it 💯💯💯
Best tutorial video I’ve used so far
Life saver thank you for the video!
swear I have to come back to this video every six months. No idea why my right brake light goes out so often, I’ve yet to have to change the left one
Water could be seeping through and shorting it.
It's wiring harness that's bad. Just turn your lights on and bend/wiggle the harness and you'll see your problem.
Replace the connector and wiring...about $45 per side, buy parts on Amazon or at NAPA
Stop buying the cheap bulbs and use bulb grease
How do you get the light to go off
Nice and simple. Thanks!
Thank you 👍🏼
You’re welcome 😊
This video helps alot but my orange connector a lil piece of it snapped off it looked burned out I was tryna avoid going to the kia dealership ughhhh.
Thank you ...for helping me...
Changing mine today
What is the size for the bulb 🤔... Thats something i need to know
THANK YOU!!!!!! Damn wires, fixtures, & bulb are so tightly crammed together, & very hard to twist and pull the socket out that holds the bulb smfh I had to bust a 🥜 damn near🤣 took me a little longer than 2:04 🤣 but mission completed
❤ thanks
Is mine the only one with the 3rd brake light? Everyone wants to show you how to replace the rear 2 but never the 3rd one in the back window why? It's a brake light why aren't you guys including it?
That’s helped a lot, but the check brake light dash warning won’t turn off now.
Hey did you figure out how to get the check brake light warning off? Having the same issue. I changed both bulbs and now it’s saying both are off but they’re actually working perfectly
@@chrisajello22 I replaced mine with LED bulbs. The dealer said since the amperage is different than incandescent the warning light will always be on. I changed them again with incandescents and it turned off.
@@hononymous that’s what I figured. The LEDs look great but the warning is annoying the crap out of me. I’ll do the same I appreciate the help
Good to know, thanks.
4/10 socket?
For the life of me I CANNOT twist out the orange piece. It refuses to come out...
Had the same issue 😅
mine too, broke it , now i'm taking whole light off to replace. ty for video 👍🏾
Wow crazy how they wouldn't make the plug and light accessable from the trunk, without having to remove the whole light. Lmfao engineering at it's finest
Thanks
Wow so Kia makes it harder than they have to make it huh.
You don’t have to remove the whole unit. Remove the white plug connector wire, then the reddish bulb socket comes out easily. I changed my 18 Optima bulb outside the auto parts store with zero tools.
