Description of the problem	I love this car. I replaced my 2016 lexus gl 460 with the 2020 telluride ex v6, a low milage previously owned car i found at a dealership because i felt it compared favorably in every way with the lexus, which i had bought new. Unfortunately, like others who have complained about the same lighting issue, i did not do a night time test drive of this car, but when i did finally drive it at night - wow! The headlights on this vehicle are the absolute worst i have ever experienced as a driver. My first experience driving this kia after dark on a city street proved to be dangerous and scary. Lighting was so poor- especially the peripheral lighting and low beam height range - that i could not find my destination because the house numbers on the mailboxes as well as the street sign were not lit well enough to read. But what was worse is that i very nearly hit a pedestrian who was walking on the side of the road. By the way, my vision is 20/20 and night driving has not preiously been a problem. I knew there had to be something wrong with the lighting system so the next day i took the car straight to the dealer who checked the bulbs and their placement; he found no problem. I am a widow so i drive myself everywhere i go, including at night. Bright, safe illumination is a must! I am not driving much at night these days because i feel it is way too risky considering the poor visibility after dark. I can tell you that kia will have a law suit (or multiple suits) on their hands when this poor headlight situation is the cause of a serious accident!
