I need to replace a turn signal bulb on a 2005 Kia Sportage. However, doing this is not so straight forward as my previous cars and I cannot for the life of me find any information on how to remove the headlight unit. Can anybody please help?

Does your owner’s manual offer any help? Most bulbs are replaced from the rear of the light unit. Reaching the bulb holder may not be easy.
