2009-2013 Kia Soul Turn Signal Bulb Replacement (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013)

Introduction

If the turn signal stops working in your 2013 KIA Soul, follow this guide to safely access and swap the lightbulb.

A working turn signal is an important feature of any car and can prevent accidents when driving. In addition, if your turn signal light is out, you may find yourself pulled over by the local police and ticketed.

Before you begin this guide, be sure that your car is off and in park, with the emergency brake on for extra safety.

When handling the new bulb, don't touch the glass with your bare hands as the oils on your fingers may can damage the glass and cause areas where heat may concentrate. This may significantly reduce the life of the bulb or it could shatter.
