Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Headlights flicker on and off when using turn signal, sometimes while just driving. Sometimes they turn completely off and don't turn back on unless i flip between auto/manual. This has been happening for a few months now and is getting worse. This is incredibly dangerous and i am worried for my safety if i can't get them to turn back on. I work at night and absolutely need my lights to work. I drive main roads and back roads and on the back roads when they go out i can't see anything. Until i get this sorted out i've resorted to not using my turn signals at night, which is dangerous in itself/illegal and there's also the fact that they turn off/flicker occasionally while not using the turn signal. Though that seems to be the most common trigger. I have no idea what is causing this but it seems to be extremely common in 2014 kia souls.
