Are the front headlight bulbs blown? Here’s how to remove them on the Sportage. Open the front bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom of the dashboard and secure it with the prop.

Lift the front bonnet. Remove the inspection cap from the headlight (located at the rear of the headlight).

You will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull the bulb holders out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulbs with the help of a screwdriver. Fit the new bulbs (always of the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder into the headlight housing.

Refit the headlight covers and test the bulbs.
