Are the rear lights of your Kia Sportage not working? Follow this guide to replace the damaged bulbs after removing the rear light. Open the boot lid, remove the plastic cover (located on the side) with a screwdriver; unscrew (with a socket spanner or screwdriver with insert) the securing screws located at the side of the rear light.

Once the light is free from any constraints, detach it from the bodywork (disconnect the relevant power connectors). Replace the damaged bulbs with equivalent parts in size and voltage.

Finally, reassemble the light and reverse the assembly of the other parts.
