| Description of the problem | My 2006 kia sedona has had both the driver and passenger low beam headlights burn out very prematurely. I have probably replaced 9 individual headlights since i bought the car in 2006. Bulbs only last 4-6 months each. H7 is the replacement bulb that is recommended and i have wasted my money countless times buying the "premium bulbs" only to have them burn out. Took the car to kia dealer and of course they can't find a problem, but looking at multiple blog sites a lot of other people are having the exact same problem. |
