This guide shows how to replace the front headlight bulbs on a Kia Sorento Mk1. To perform this operation, you need a 10 mm socket spanner to remove the three bolts securing the headlight assembly; two bolts are located inside the headlight and one on top. With the bonnet open, you can see these elements near the headlight to be worked on. Once the bolts are removed, pull the assembly towards the front of the vehicle.

At this point, you can replace the bulbs.

Refit everything in position and check the correct operation before hitting the road.
