Component | EXTERIOR LIGHTING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Halogen headlamps on the ex model do a poor job of illuminating the road ahead when in low beam mode. I can hardly see a few feet. I also drive a lexus whose headlamps do a fantastic job of illumination in low beam. I am having to periodically alternate between high beam and low beam modes (to avoid blinding opposite traffic) when driving the telluride on unlit roads or poorly lit roads. Why didn't kia provide led headlights for all trim levels? This is a serious safety issue. |
