Consumer Description

LEFT REAR TURNING LIGHT EMITTING WHITE LIGHT ON A KIA SEPHIA SEEN IN TRAFFIC. THE CLEAR LENS AND A WHITE LIGHT BULB ARE THE CULPRITS. THIS ILLEGAL WHITE LIGHT IS FROM WHITE LIGHT BULBS MISTAKENLY USED VICE AMBER BULBS. THE ONLY WHITE LIGHT TO SHINE BEHIND A CAR IS BACK-UP LIGHTS. I DON'T KNOW IF THE OWNER OF THAT CAR REPLACED THE BULBS HIMSELF WITH THE WRONG BULBS OR IF ALL KIA'S ARE BEING PRODUCED THAT WAY. STRONGLY SUGGEST REPLACING ALL CLEAR TURN SIGNAL LENSES WITH AMBER ONES. YES, A RECALL. THAT WILL STOP ILLEGAL WHITE LIGHT FROM SHINING IN OTHER DRIVERS EYES ESPECIALLY AT NIGHTTIME. THANK YOU FOR A PROMPT RESPONSE. *AK
