OEM Kia Headlights

You are, no doubt, familiar with how the headlights on your Kia vehicle work. When it's dark out, or you're driving in inclement weather, you use the low beam setting. If you're alone on a dark road and need more light, you can switch to the high beam setting. You can flash the low beams as a warning sign to oncoming traffic, or to signal the driver ahead that you plan to pass. You can even use them as hazard lights, or flashers, to note that you need assistance. You may even have fog lights built into the housing, or located nearby. Those are ideal when conditions are gloomy, thanks to their low glare output.

The Types of Headlights

There are three main kinds these days. Halogen headlights are the most common, and are usually found on sedans. Sports cars, however, typically feature xenon. Also known as high-intensity-discharge, these headlights fit into their narrower housings. Finally, newer models may come with LED headlights. They don't produce much heat, and are more energy efficient than the other types.

You'll want to replace your headlights when they burn out or start to dim. The timelines vary by type. Halogen bulbs should be replaced every two years or so, while xenon can be expected to last about three years. LED, on the other hand, only need to be replaced when they fail or when their electronics go bad.
