I replaced the headlight on my gf's 2005 Sorento. Open the hood and remove the three big bolts (size 10 wrench) which anchor the entire headlight assembly to the metal of the car. If you're replacing the driver side bulb, there are two by your left hand and one atop the headlight assembly - note: all are on easily accessible on the outside. not in the engine area. They're really easy to identify, so if you're not seeing them you're looking too hard. The entire headlight assembly comes out with a little wiggling. Unscrew the plastic hood (half a turn is all it takes) and unplug the plastic cable block that brings power to the bulb, GENTLY pry out the metal retaining bar and replace the bulb - there's a single small screw to loosen that holds it in place. Reassembly is a breeze. Once you've figured it out, it take five minutes or less. Good luck!
