Default Changing headlights

I have an '05 Sorrento that just blew a left low beam. Thought I could just pull the bulb from the back like you do on most cars, but that doesn't seem possible. Anybody know the trick? Thanks

Have you checked your drivers manual. It may have information on this. I have 03 Sorento and manual states that you have to remove headlight (not a big deal, just 3 screws and pull and yes I already changed couple of bulbs in headlight).

Just like any other car ...remove the rubber cover ..bulb held by wire clip ...access is a problem .... its a giencological job or you can take the headlight out for better access

I looked in the manual,it said remove the whole assembly. I went to the Kia dealer to get the bulb and a skinny little tech said hed replace it for me,no charge. He just took the plug off the back and reached his little hand in and snagged the old one. Had the new one in an I was outta there 18 bucks and five minutes later.
