Consumer Description

WE HAVE REPEATEDLY REPLACED LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. HAVE TRIED VARIOUS BRANDS TO NO AVAIL. TRIED REPLACING ONE AT A TIME/ BOTH AT SAME TIME WITH NO LUCK. SAME RESULT IN THAT THEY BURN OUT WITHIN A COUPLE DAYS TO A COUPLE MONTHS. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE, THE DOME LIGHT FOR THE DOOR DOES NOT WORK. DECIDED TO INVESTIGATE ON INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THESE ISSUES. SEEMS TO ME THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. ONLY REPORTING TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN TO THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND OTHERS WHO OWN A KIA. THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION AFTER MY WIFE WAS PULLED OVER FOR HAVING ONLY ONE HEADLIGHT. THE OFFICER WAS NICE AND ONLY GAVE HER A COURTESY WARNING. NOT SURE WHAT WILL HAPPEN THE NEXT TIME. LAW ENFORCEMENT DOES NOT ALLOW IGNORANCE AS AN EXCUSE FOR THE LAW. *TR
