| Description of the problem | My low beam headlights have been an issue for some time now i have only had the car 3 years and at first the headlights went completely out after replacing the bulbs i no longer have enough power source going to the headlights to use my low beams anymore. I took it to kia and they told me just the light bulb needed to be replaced on the driver side and my whole passenger side lighting system needed to be replaced. This sounds so wrong because both the lights work but they are so dim they are not useable. The driver side went out first the car was stationary then a month later the passenger. |
