How to Replace the Brake Light Bulb on a Kia Sportage

Model: Kia Sportage QL, MK 4 - Years 2016-2022
Part: Tail light bulb

In this video tutorial, you can see how to replace the brake light bulb on a 2020 Kia Sportage by following some simple steps that will allow you to manage your vehicle independently. Get in the car, turn off the engine, and pull the handbrake. Take a flathead screwdriver and pry off the plastic cover of the rear light, as shown in the video. Once the cover is removed, unscrew the two cross-head screws, and once unscrewed, gently pull the light back until it is removed from its housing (use both hands for a good grip). Once the light is removed, to take out the rear light bulb, simply rotate it counterclockwise and then pull it out; replace the old bulb with a new one and reassemble all parts in reverse order.
