Open the access panel in the trunk to find three nuts that need to be taken off. After that, you may push the entire light out. If the trunk lights are the problem, you must remove the liner from the lid of the trunk to get to the bolts behind it. The bulb on the coup cannot be removed from the automobile without doing the entire assembly.

How do turn signals change?
A turn signal bulb can be replaced quickly and easily. It merely entails removing the burned-out light bulb and installing a new one. You can get replacement bulbs at car supply shops or through the service division of your nearby dealership.
Is the 2010 Kia Forte subject to a recall?
Certain 20102013 Kia Forte, Forte Koup, 20112013 Kia Optima, 20112012 Kia Optima Hybrid, and Sedona vehicles are being recalled by Kia Motors America (Kia). The air bag control unit (ACU) may short circuit during a collision, which would prevent the frontal air bags and seat belt pretensioners from inflating.
On a 2014 Kia Soul, where is the brake light located?
Pull the brake light socket from the tail light assembly by turning it 1/4 turn counterclockwise. At the base of the tail light assembly is the brake light.
How much does a Kia tail light repair cost?
Kia tail light replacement should just take ten to twenty minutes and cost between $50 and $100 each light.
Your safety and the safety of other road users are greatly influenced by the tail lights of your Kia. Broken tail lights not only prevent you from signaling to drivers behind you as you are braking, but they can also result in a ticket.
The blinker is blinking quicklywhy?
Ah, that moment when the song filling the cabin and the blinker perfectly time each other. But why, all of a sudden, does my turn signal blink quickly? What are the potential answers, and how large of an issue is this?
Blink on, Blink off
In most cars, the turn signal circuit is rather simple: Battery power is routed through a fuse to a turn signal relay. By activating and transferring electricity through a secondary load circuit, you complete the control circuit when you choose a turn signal direction at the steering wheel. The bulbs designed to turn on when the signal direction is chosen are part of this secondary circuit. The electricity is routed through a flasher since, of course, you don’t want the bulbs to be on all the time.
Different varieties of flashers are typically made with a thin metal strip whose shape is extremely heat-sensitive. The metal strip heats and cools as current passes through it, bending and straightening it to complete or break the circuit. The flasher is therefore temperature-controlled and made to bend precisely at predetermined intervals in response to electrical circumstances.
Why Does My Turn Signal Blink Fast?
The load demand, otherwise known as the lamps, influences the current in part. Despite the circuit’s apparent simplicity, the voltage, current, and resistance were carefully calculated when it was designed. Any of these adjustments may result in a change in blinker speed.
Bad to the Bulb
By far, a broken bulb is to blame when a signal blinks more rapidly. This is so that the blinker receives a varied current when a defective bulb changes the resistance in a circuit.
Test all signal lights to see if any bulbs are obviously out to determine if this is the problem. Otherwise, look for failure indicators like broken filaments or dark, cloudy glass in each turn signal bulb. Check the lights again after replacing any defective bulbs.
Poor Lighting
The blinking speed can also be affected by aftermarket components that don’t fit the intended system, so be sure to swap out any defective components with the proper ones. Avoid upgrading to aftermarket parts that add more lights or don’t take the blinkers into account, and avoid replacing halogen bulbs with LEDs. An erroneous part is unlikely to be the cause of the issue if you haven’t lately worked on the lighting system.
Bad Connection
Resistance and blinking speed are impacted by wiring that is corroded, fried, worn through the insulation, or loose at a connection point. Be wary of poor ground connections. With time, water damage, extreme heat, and other environmental pressures, relays and flashers can become defective. These parts can be easily replaced in order to immediately rule them out as the problem. Just keep in mind to swap like with like.
While a turn signal that blinks quickly shouldn’t cause alarm, it does indicate a circuit issue. Fortunately, the solution is rather simple to find once you know what to look for.

How simple is it to replace a turn signal bulb?
All of your turn signal bulbs need to be bright and functional for your safety on the road and to pass your annual inspection. Fortunately, mechanics can change a vehicle’s bulb with ease. A mechanic will frequently unscrew the lens from your headlight or taillight, remove the old turn signal bulb gently, and then replace it. Most turn signals may be quickly and affordably repaired to get them working again.
There are a few various problems you could be having if this does not fix your turn signals. First, you can have a wiring or electrical issue. Despite being uncommon, these problems can be harmful. Because of this, expert diagnosis and service are crucial. This may more frequently be a problem with cloudy and oxidized lenses. Your headlights’ and taillights’ acrylic can become discolored by the sun’s UV rays, making it challenging to notice properly-operating bulbs. To solve these extra worries, headlight restoration services can be required.
