Description of the problem	My lowbeams do not work. The lamps have been replaced and still don't work. There is no info in the owners manual identifying the fuse or module that controls the lowbeams. I contacted kia's consumer assistance on march 22, 2019 (case# 13097019) with a 48 business hr rep return contact committment. I just received it today, april 27, 2019, advising me to take to dealer for diagnosis and to contact them after the diag so that they can speak with the dealer to help ressolve. No idication that they'll pay, or do a courtesy repair. Electrical work can be expensive. This in my opinion is a major safety issue, with no recall. The internet is loaded with this same issue on various kia models. Please assist me to resolve this issue. If i receive a repair citation, i cannot afford lengthy and expensive diagnostics and i'll have to park my auto and cannot work as i work after dark.
