2010 - 2015 Kia Sorento Headlight Bulb Replacement

Step by step guide to replacing your headlights. You will need a H7 light bulb, a pair of gloves, and bulb\dielectric grease. No tools are needed for this quick replacement. If you have further questions leave them in the comment section and I respond.

These are the EASIEST Bulbs to change. I work for AUTOZONE and we, as a courtesy, sometimes change the headlights. I have a 2014 KIA Sorrento and I changed both bulbs in less than 10 minutes. We (AUTOZONE) sell the Halogen Headlight Installation kit ( Bulb Grease & Gloves ) in one package for around $2

[@MrV2u]

Good deal... hopefully more people will try out Autozone after reading the comment.

@@MrV2u Only bad thing, is that we can't do as much as we used to because of CVD19. The Company has us on lockdown as far as how much we can do for the customers. Customers complain. But, hey, FU !

[@seangriffin7803]

In case anyone else has confusion, the video here shows the replacement of the "low-beam" headlights, not the "high beam" headlamps. For my 2015 Sorento LX, each high & low headlamp have their own compartment under the hood and they each have a dedicated bulb. Also I found out that daytime lights are using the high beam headlamp, and if your in a pinch you can manually set the lights to what is called "marker or parking" lights mode on the steering column. It will illuminate your rear lights and also your daytime headlamps. If in doubt you can pull the dead bulb and read the part number off the bulb, or my user manual lists the bulb part numbers (just no help in replacing or position of them on my car).

[@MrV2u]

You are correct sir. Good info

[@caliboyrob]

Bought my mom the ex trim and the headlights aren’t bright enough definitely gonna change them for her. Great video

[@MrV2u]

I’d recommend using the fogs all the time brother. The headlights alone are horrible. If you don’t have fogs maybe a LED upgrade will help out dramatically. The kits are pretty much all plug and play. Thanks for the feedback Boí

The important thing not mentioned is that there are also high beams too, which on my 2014 KIA Sorento SX Limited are the INSIDE set of bulbs. The outside "projection" ones are the headlights. Each has different bulbs, which is very important when ordering. It also matters what model type you have (base, SX, SX Limited, etc) because they may have a different type of light configuration. None of that was addressed in this video.

If you have needle nose pliers grab the tip of metal and push it in and twist at the same time. You will bend the metal but don’t worry it will come out. Put some of the grease inside when your done, and if you have corrosion get a electric contact cleaner from auto zone or advanced auto. Let me know how you make out my friend.
