What Lighting System Does the 2022 Kia Stinger Have?
The 2022 Kia Stinger features an extensive lighting system with 13 bulb positions. It uses factory LED technology with integrated LED headlight modules. The Stinger has been available from 2018 to 2023, and the 2022 model falls in the late-generation years.
Can You Put LED Bulbs in a 2022 Kia Stinger?
Upgrading the 2022 Kia Stinger to LED headlights is straightforward since it uses a single LED Headlights dual-filament bulb for both low and high beams. You only need one pair of LED bulbs to upgrade both functions. Look for a LED Headlights LED kit that specifically supports dual-filament operation to ensure both beams work correctly. For the fog lights, a LED Fog Light LED bulb provides a clean white output that pairs well with LED headlights.
How to Replace Bulbs on a 2022 Kia Stinger
To remove the headlight bulb, disconnect the wiring harness, then twist the bulb counter-clockwise and pull it straight out of the housing. On the 2022 Stinger, you will likely encounter rubber dust covers behind the headlight housing. These pull off by hand or unscrew depending on the design. Allow about 15 to 20 minutes per side. This vehicle has factory-integrated LED headlight modules. These are not user-serviceable bulbs. If your LED headlights fail, the entire headlight assembly or LED module may need to be replaced by a dealer or qualified technician. The fog lights are accessed from underneath the front bumper. You may need to remove a few plastic clips or screws from the fender liner to reach the LED Fog Light fog light socket.

Shop Complete LED Kit for 2022 Kia StingerHow Long Do 2022 Kia Stinger Headlight Bulbs Last?
Factory LED headlights on the 2022 Kia Stinger are rated for approximately 25,000 to 50,000 hours of use, which translates to roughly 10 to 15 years of normal driving. LED modules rarely burn out suddenly. Instead, they gradually dim over time or develop dead zones within the LED array. At 4 years old, your Stinger is approaching the typical replacement window. Inspect your headlights at night and compare brightness between the left and right sides. When one headlight burns out, replace both sides at the same time. Bulbs from the same batch age at similar rates, and mismatched brightness is distracting to oncoming drivers.
What Bulbs Are Compatible with the 2022 Kia Stinger?
Using the wrong bulb size can cause improper beam patterns that reduce your visibility and blind other drivers. It can also cause overheating inside the headlight housing, potentially warping the plastic lens or reflector. Always verify the bulb number before purchasing.
