Description of the problem | While driving down an unlit road by harold parker state forest, in massachusetts. My low beam head lights suddenly went out ( stopped working ) and never came back on. I used my high beams to make my way home, much to the dismay of on coming traffic. I went to the local auto parts store think that the bulbs burnt out, but that is not the case. I tested the fuse and relay and everything seems find, so now i am making an appointment with the local kia dealer to investigate. My wife informed me that is had happened to her earlier the same week, but she thought it was just her eyes. This was a major problem given the time of night, the inability to see without blinding on coming traffic. I did some looking into this matter and found a lot of the same complaints on the web. Please look into this matter before someone get injured or worse, killed. |
