Summer is here folks! And that means long drives, vacation travel, and fun nights out on the town! So, the King Kia of Laurel team is sure many members of our community have been doing more driving in the dark. That means that the health of your vehicle's headlights it’s more important than ever! That’s why we have compiled a DIY guide to changing your own headlights so that drivers can avoid dangerous situations while out and about this June! Check out that guide below and if it seems like a bit more than you think you can handle, feel free to schedule a service appointment at our Kia Service Center today! King Kia of Laurel’s Guide To Replacing A Headlight: Pop open your hood and use the provided prop stand or another sturdy object to keep it open. Remove the power connector from the back of the headlight. This may require a slight turn or jiggle to get it loose. Remove the dust cover from the back of the headlight. This also may require a small twist to get loose. Some cars have a clip that holds the bulb in place. Press down on this clip to release the light bulb. Grasp the housing of the bulb and pull it out. This step may require a little wiggling to get it loose. Do not pull the bulb by the glass or tug the bulb roughly. This could cause it to break and may result in injury. Holding the old bulb and new bulbs by their housings, compare to make sure they match. To guarantee your bulb is free of dust and fingerprints, gently wipe it with a pre-moistened alcohol wipe or rubbing alcohol on a dust-free cloth. Line up the bulb housing with the open socket and insert carefully. Make sure it's secure. Slide the bulb back in place and twist if necessary to make sure it's locked into its spot. Replace the clip (if you have one), dust cover, and power connector. Turn on your headlights to ensure the bulb and connection are working. Close the hood and give yourself a round of applause!

We know the spring season can be difficult for those who suffer from allergies! It’s hard enough to be irritated when outside, let alone feel the need to sneeze while in your vehicle! So, this week, we are here to help you allergy-proof your vehicle with four easy steps. And, don’t worry these steps are easy and can even be accomplished from the comfort of your very own driveway! But, if you would like our service professionals to take care of your interior detailing, contact our team or schedule an appointment at our certified Kia Service Center! We look forward to making your car your oasis this season! King Kia Of Laurel’s Guide To Allergy Proofing Your Car: Change Out Air Filters Air filters are sometimes the most forgotten thing in a vehicle. While air filters are the barrier between you and the pollen inside your cabin, it is crucial to swap out your air filters at the start of each season for plenty of reasons. We recommend changing at the beginning of the spring season and checking back again towards the end to ensure smart, clean breathing when you’re inside your vehicle. Clean Those Carpets Your vehicle’s carpeting is known to be a home for allergens, dirt, dust, and all things nasty. The first way to allergy-proof your ride is to make sure your carpeting (and seating) is clean and dry. If you want to go the extra step, invest in all-season floor mats to make this process easier or to keep allergens from building up in your vehicle’s carpeting. Keep Your Windows Closed Pollen season is here and that means you’ll be sneezing in no time! Let’s cut back on those sneeze attacks by keeping our windows closed tight when pollen is at its peak. We also recommend using only the recirculating cycle if or when you need to use your air conditioner in order to avoid pollen from entering your vehicle's cabin. Avoid Irritants Many drivers think cleaning their vehicle with strong fragrance products or adding a new air freshener to their vehicle will make all those bad smells go away. And in some cases, they will. But those fragrances can add irritation and could make those allergies worse. So, avoid all that and choose something that will not irritate your nasal membranes.

In a few short weeks, it’ll be June; which means you’re probably going to hit the open road to really enjoy the warmer weather!
