KGM Korando (4th generation): Low Beam Bulb Replacement

The low beams on the 4th-generation Korando (C300) use 55W H7 halogen bulbs. Replacement is done from the engine compartment through the rear covers of the headlights, without removing the headlight assembly.

Difficulty: Easy Time: 15-20 minutes Steps: 10 Tools: None required (cotton gloves may be helpful)

Part

  • 🔩 H7 12V 55W bulb (standard halogen). Equivalents: Philips H7, Osram H7, Bosch H7. Available in standard, +30% and +50% brightness versions, depending on the manufacturer

Step by step

10 steps
  1. Open the hood and secure it with the prop rod. The engine must be cold.
  2. Locate the back of the headlight assembly on the corresponding side (the left headlight is behind the left fender, the right headlight is behind the right fender).
  3. Turn the protective rubber or plastic cover on the back of the headlight (8-10 cm (3-4 in) in diameter) counterclockwise and remove it.
  4. Disconnect the low beam bulb's power connector by pulling on the connector body (not the wires).
  5. Release the bulb from its holder: press the spring retaining clip and disengage it, then remove the bulb.
  6. Handle the new H7 bulb with a clean cloth or while wearing gloves (oil from your fingers shortens the life of a halogen bulb).
  7. Install the new bulb in the holder base-first, and secure it with the spring clip.
  8. Plug in the power connector until it clicks.
  9. Put the protective cover back in place and turn it clockwise until it locks.
  10. Check that the low beams work before driving.

Common mistakes and warnings

  • Do not touch the glass envelope of a halogen bulb with bare hands. Oil residue causes overheating and premature failure. If you touch it, wipe it with rubbing alcohol or a clean cloth. If you switch to LED H7 bulbs, make sure they are compatible with the vehicle's electronics (no bulb-out warning errors). Some LED bulbs require CANbus decoders to be installed.
