| Description of the problem | My complaint is the low beam on my 2015 kia sorento has very poor visibility and burns out too frequently. My local kia dealer doesn't even carry the replacement bulb for this vehicle. Told me to go buy it at walmart, which i did. However, one burned out within 4 months (i changed both at the same time per recommendation). Bought replacement again (cost $37. 00) and before i had a chance to replace the other one burned out. I think this is a real safety issue due to the poor visibility (low lumens) and frequent burn out. Can you offer any advice? Thank you. |
