Product Overview
Kia Optima headlamps came in different lighting packages, and the halogen version without LED DRL should not be confused with the LED-equipped housing. If both original lenses are hazy or the front end was damaged, replacing the matched pair restores even appearance and beam output.
Before installation, compare the light source and factory equipment on the vehicle. Halogen, HID, full-LED, DRL and adaptive-lighting versions can share a similar outer shape while using different electronics and connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I make sure I am ordering the correct lighting version? A: Match the side, lamp technology, connector, factory options, and any OE or interchange numbers on the original assembly. Do not rely on lens shape alone.
Q: What should I check if the old lamp has moisture inside? A: Inspect the housing for cracks and check the rear caps, vents, sockets, wiring grommets, and surrounding body seals so the replacement is not exposed to the same water path.
Q: Will this add lighting features my vehicle did not originally have? A: Not necessarily. Extra DRL, LED, turn-signal, or adaptive functions only work when the vehicle is equipped and wired for the matching configuration.
