Description of the problem | Headlights flicker on and off when using turn signal, sometimes while just driving. Sometimes they turn completely off and don't turn back on unless i flip between auto/manual. This has been happening for a few months now and is getting worse. This is incredibly dangerous and i am worried for my safety if i can't get them to turn back on. I work at night and absolutely need my lights to work. I drive main roads and back roads and on the back roads when they go out i can't see anything. Until i get this sorted out i've resorted to not using my turn signals at night, which is dangerous in itself/illegal and there's also the fact that they turn off/flicker occasionally while not using the turn signal. Though that seems to be the most common trigger. I have no idea what is causing this but it seems to be extremely common in 2014 kia souls. |
