Description of the problem | My issue is regarding the inadequate lighting supplied by the halogen lighting in my 2020 kia soul s. The vehicle doesn't light the road far enough ahead to give the driver time to react if need be. I find myself driving with my brights on in order to see while driving at night. I contacted the kia dealer who told me that they have had the same complaint from numerous owners but there is no fix at this time. He believes kia is working on a remedy though. I attempted to replace the stock halogen bulbs with a better quality, brighter aftermarket bulb but none were available for this vehicle as yet. |
