How do you replace 2008 Kia sorento headlight bulb?

Here's a step-by-step guide to replacing a headlight bulb in a 2008 Kia Sorento:

1. Park your vehicle in a safe location and turn off the engine. Allow the headlights to cool down if they've been on.

2. Open the hood. The hood release lever is typically located on the driver's side footwell.

3. Locate the headlight assembly. The headlight assembly is the housing that contains the headlight bulb. It is located behind the clear plastic cover on the front of the vehicle.

4. Remove the plastic dust cap. Turn it counterclockwise and pull it straight out.

5. Disconnect the electrical connector by pressing the release tab and pulling the connector straight off the bulb.

6. Remove the old bulb by turning it counterclockwise and pulling it straight out.

7. Install the new bulb by aligning it with the socket and turning it clockwise until it locks into place.

8. Reconnected the electrical connector. Push it firmly until it clicks into place.

9. Replace the dust cap. Turn it clockwise until it is snug.

10. Close the hood.

Note: If the headlight bulb does not work after you have replaced it, check to make sure that the electrical connector is properly connected. If the connector is loose, the bulb will not receive power.
