Description of the problem	Was driving home on icy snow covered roads with three children in my vehicle when all of a sudden my passenger low beam light went out making it difficult to see the road. On too of the snow and ice mixture i was also traveling through an area of construction so all the street lights were out and having only one headlight made it difficult and scary to navigate the road and all the construction comes. I drove the rest of the way home with my high beams on and the next day immediately bought a replacement bulb. Which was a waste of money..... Because the bulb is not the issue. Being a single mom of 3 i do not have money to be wasting and now i'm not only out the money for the bulb but i still have to passenger side low beam making it unsafe for me to drive at night and i cannot afford a ticket for driving everywhere with my high beams on. From reading all these complaints it sounds like the whole assembly needs replaced which is expensive and also not something i will be able to afford anytime soon. I just bought this vehicle used a couple months ago and i have loved it up until now. I wish that kia would issue a recall and fix what is obviously a manufacturers mishap.
