How to Remove the Rear Headlight Bulb on a Kia Sportage

Model: Kia Sportage SL, MK 3 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Tail light bulb

Before starting, open the tailgate of your Kia Sportage. Begin by unscrewing and removing the screws that secure the rear light to its housing. Next, disengage and extract the rear light, then disconnect the associated electrical plug. This will give you access to the back of the blown bulb. Proceed to extract the bulb base from the rear light. At this point, you will have reached the blown bulb, which you can disengage and remove, completing the disassembly.
