damage and possible fire.
CAUTION
If you don't have necessary tools, the
correct bulbs and the expertise, consult
a professional workshop. Kia recom

In many cases, it is difficult to replace

result in damage to the vehicle.
CAUTION

僅 Do not install extra lamps or LED to
the vehicle. If supplementary lights

addition, the fuse box and other wir -
