How do you replace a Drivers side headlight bulb on a 2006 Kia Spectra
Helps to remove the battery, but small ahbds can do it.
Directly behind the lens is a big round cap ... twist it off. The bulb is held in place with a spring that locks in to a notch in the holder. When handling the new bulb, don't touch the glass. The oil from your skin will cause it to shatter when turned on.
The clip that holds the bulb opens like a door, so pull the clip from the side closer to the outside of car, when the clip releases its like a swinging door.

After reading all the other nightmare post about changing the headlight, it turned out to be a 5 minute fix!
Just had to remove the 3 plastic screws that hold the plastic shroud in front of battery, unscrew plastic cover from back of headlight assembly to expose bulb connections, unplug bulb socket then release bulb retaining clip and bulb falls right out!
After reading all the nightmare posts about changing the bulb, i found it only took 5 minutes to complete.
Remove 3 plastic screws from plastic battery cover, reach in and unscrew the plastic cover from the back of the headlight assembly, unplug the wires at the bulb, release bulb retaining clip and bulb falls out!
