Description of the problem	I am requesting investigation into excess glare from led headlights on the kona limited model, year 2018 for those manufactured prior to june. Excessive glare originates from the led lights and results in consistent "bright beam" flashes from on coming drivers, as they think you have your brights on. This results in blinding and unsafe conditions when driving on narrow roads for both drivers. Hyundai appears to have known about the issue as they redesigned the led headlights mid year. June and later models do not have excess glare. This appears to be supported by iihs. Org at the following link: https://www. Iihs. Org/iihs/news/desktopnews/improved-headlights-help-hyundai-kona-earn-top-safety-pick-award when contacting hyundai customer support to seek replacement lights, they claim to have no knowledge of the change mid year and direct you to the dealership. I have contacted two local hyundai dealerships and neither claims to know anything about mid year changes and have not yet offered any assistance in addressing the issue. Hyundai should be requested by nhtsa to contact known early year owners of affected kona limited models with instructions on how to get the issues addressed.
