This 2012 Kia Sorento bulb size guide is designed to help you verify the correct bulb by lighting position, so you can match the right part before you buy. Because trim and lighting equipment can vary, the exact bulb used on your Sorento may depend on the model, package, and market.

Use this page to check common exterior and interior bulb locations such as headlights, fog lights, brake lights, turn signals, license plate lights, map lights, and cargo-area lighting. Matching the bulb to the correct position is the easiest way to avoid fitment mistakes and get the right replacement the first time.

For the best fit, compare your Sorento’s trim and existing bulb before ordering, especially if your vehicle has an SX or EX lighting package or any aftermarket upgrades. Some positions may use halogen bulbs on one version and LED on another, and fog light fitment can differ between factory setups and converted housings. If you are switching from halogen to LED, make sure the replacement is compatible with the socket, housing depth, and beam pattern. When in doubt, remove the installed bulb and read the base code directly before purchasing.
