Stuck getting the plug off the back of the bulb. Manual says pull it off but is there a clip- its not moving? I can tell I'm pulling against the retaining spring wire (the next step inside the rubber boot) Budget Backblocks exploring Re: Sportage headlight upgrade [Re: cooking5] #1062554 08/02/13 01:47 PM Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 1,224 Silicon Valley, CA Everet Body Damage is Cool You need to unhook the spring wire and it will rotate it out of the way. A simple upgrade is to go with 50W HID Bi-Xenon HID lights. Good ones will cost around $120 for a complete kit. I have had good luck with Xentec brand. I also like the 4300k color. Not the real blue ones.

I already had the bulbs and they are much improved. Finally got into the wild last weekend and was very happy with the ride and grip of the kia.
