This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Kia dealer.
While my vehicle was still under the 50K warranty the headlight went out on the right side. It was not a bulb, it was the connection and they would only replace the whole unit. The left side went out later but this time it was over the 50K warranty and the dealer wanted $600 to replace the unit. My son played with the connection and fixed it for nothing. the bulb was not even blown.
This has happened several times but the bulbs would be out so while it was being changed the contacts would get cleaned. I personally think if the parts are made out of plastic and cheap internal materials, it should be redesigned and a recall sent out.

I have changed the front blinkers multiple times (3-4) after they were not working. Then I noticed after the first time they were not even burnt out, but they still didn't work. Now every month or so I have to pop the hood and take out the bulbs and put them back in after cleaning the contacts. Very annoying. Talked to other owners and they have similar problem. I am hoping to see some similar complaints and get this recalled.
