when replacing the headlights I see online some look silver inside the low beam housing and some look dark. My 2014 LX has very dim lights and a bulb replacement didn't fix it and I'm hesitant to buy new headlights because I'm not sure which ones to get

Richard Young says:

This method WILL NOT work on a 2014 Kia Sorento Limited built in Georgia. The bumper cover must be loosen on the side being replaced , top and bottom, and pulled out to get enough clearance to slide the light assembly out. Also, it only had the top 2 bolts – the bottom 3rd bolt was not present and no provision for it.

robert tobin says:

Completely wrong. The lights are accessible without removing a single bulb! You unscrew a cover, reach in, v twist and bingo!

Because of you I save 570 after I ordering my headlight Thank you keep doing great this who we are

Stephen Boyd says:

This guide is very detailed and easy to follow. However, I found that none of this was really necessary. I started to follow the guide and got the step about the back bolt when I realized I could easily access the lamp covers very easily with just my hands. Maybe it would be more difficult for someone with large hands. But I was able to remove the covers, and bulbs relatively easily. I had a little more trouble with the right bulb near the fuse box because it was a little more cramped. But I completed the whole job without removing the entire assembly as shown.

Great video, I’m gonna do it myself!

Private Name says:

The title of the video should specifically say headlight ASSEMBLY. People just looking to replace the bulbs will be really confused. ALSO, it should be stated that these new assemblies are nothing like the factory OEM regarding the bulbs, so that may confuse people looking to just replace the bulbs. The low beam bulbs (on the outside edge of the assembly) do NOT have that hold down wire clip. They are H7 bulbs that push into the base and the base twists on into the assembly.

Excellent vid ! Thank you.

IB Dribbles says:

Asking again about the infamous lower bolt…SPECIFICALLY for the 2014 Kia Sorento…the new headlight assembly has no holes for a bolt or screw. Maybe the vehicle used is a 2011-2013 Sorento, honest mistake but at least make a comment. Plus does anyone from TRQ monitor and answer these feeds? No reason to subscribe or make positive comments…HELLO???

IB Dribbles says:

Working on my 2014 Kia Sorento headlight assembly but don’t see that last 10mm bolt on the bottom. There’s no hole or mount for the new assembly so I’m curious where is this bolt?
