Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	At night time when the vehicle head lamps are on, there are two triangular shaped objects that are shadowed from part of the head lamp housing. These project into the distance and are an obstruction and make the driver dizzy and it appears as though there is something ahead that you may hit. These shapes also move from side to side as you drive around bends in the road making it even worse and making the driver and the passengers dizzy. It is extremely dangerous and will likely cause an accident. The car is not drivable at night due to this flaw in the design. I have a case logged with kia and they say that the design cannot change and that they have manufactured over 10,00+ of these vehicles. This is a brand new car and it is very poorly designed and very unsafe to drive in the evening. Everyone needs to know this and not buy this car, i also now have to fight with kia to get my money back which will not be fun.
