Product Overview
Optima headlights are one of those parts where “halogen” is not enough information. Some housings have LED daytime-running lights, others do not, and Korean-built versus U.S.-built cars can use different assemblies.
This pair is for the version that combines conventional headlamp bulbs with LED DRL elements. If one lamp has moisture or broken tabs, replacing both sides also keeps the lens clarity and DRL appearance consistent.
Key Features & Performance
- Complete left and right headlamp pair
- LED daytime-running-light elements
- Designed for compatible halogen-headlamp Optima configuration
Replaces Part Numbers
- Kia headlamp numbers vary by build plant and DRL option; compare the labels on both original housings
Common Uses
- Replacing both cloudy or damaged headlight assemblies
- Repairing front-end collision damage
- Correcting mismatched lens clarity after only one side was previously replaced
Technical Specifications
- Front left and right
- Halogen main-light / LED DRL configuration

Installation & Fitment
Compare the VIN build location, connector and DRL layout before removing the original lamps. Aim both headlights after installation.
Compatibility Notice
Do not confuse this with Optima headlights without LED DRL, factory HID/xenon or full-LED systems. Those use different housings and electronics.
