Replace Burnt Out Head Light Bulb on 2009 Kia Spectra

I am trying to replace the front right passenger side head light buld on my 2009 Kia Spectra.

First I unscrewed the plastic cover / unplugged the electrical wire to the bulb / Removed the screws that held the retaining clip in place / removed the burnt out bulb / put a new bulb back in / but I can not figure out how to line up the retaining clip.

After removing the two screws that hold the retaining clip in place I cannot figure out how to line up the retaining clip so it will hold the light bulb in place. It is at an angle that I can not figure it out.

Can anyone tell me how to line up the retaining clip or remove the entire head light assembly ?

SOURCE: why did the service light for my 2009 kia spectra

Probably because no one is sitting in the passenger seat. If it stays on when someone is sitting in the seat then you may have a problem with the sensor in the seat.

This answer makes a mountain out of a mole hill! There are two screws directly under the light accessible from the trunk (in two hole, the wires come out of one of them)- just unscrew and you can manuever out without taking off the whole back panel.

SOURCE: can't get passenger side marker light out on a 2007 kia spectra

There is one bolt on top of the radiator support and another in back. The assy fits into a pluug that keeps it aligned so it cam be tough to remove. Just wiggle it side to side while pulling and it'll slowly come out.

Are you looking to fix the bulb that is in the corner of the headlamp? You don't need to remove the head light for that. The is a black cap that screws off just beind it.

The computer has detected an issue with your brakes. Bring it to a dealer and don't drive it as your brakes could fail

How do I replace burnt bulb (brake light) on my 2003 Nissan Altima

Open the back hatch door. There are two hex head bolts that hold the tail light assembly in place. Remove them. The fender side of the taillight is snapped on. With a little hand force (don't use a screwdriver, it may crack the light or scratch the paint) you should be able to pop the light assembly out.
The back of the assembly has sockets that hold the bulbs, in small print you should see the word "lock" and a direction arrow. Simply turn the socket in the opposite direction and the buld should pull out. When replacing it, make sure you don't hand the buld directly with your hands because oils from you fingers may shorten the life of the bulb.

How do I change the headlight on a 2006 Kia Spectra?

Well, if it's the driver side (usually battery is on this side) - remove the battery. You should see the backing of the head light casing (two - three prong wiring harness/ may have two if brights are a seperate bulb). If only one, unscrew this couteclock wise, pull out old bulb, and insert new. Installation is reverse of removal.

Same with passenger side (remove anything that may be covering access to cover backing).

Please let me know if you need any further assistance.
