Description of the problem | For the past three months i've been having issues with the headlights and bright lights on my 2014 kia soul. I have been experiencing the lights flickering and sporadically turning on and off until recently where they will not come on at all. I have been researching how i can fix this issue by going to kia dealerships, and looking online for a solution. I have come across several youtube videos as well as online help suggesting that it is a known issue with this car. It is said to be an issue with the switch and/or the connector that causes the problem. I've changed the bulb as well as the fuse with the same issue. I'm getting tickets due to this being an issue that is not an easy fix. It's scary to drive distances with children in the vehicle and not knowing if the lights will turn on or off. |
