1 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 11/18/2019

I have recently purchased a 2014 kia Optima lx, and the headlights are so dim on low beam it is unsafe to drive. Bright lights work great. Low beam when you meet another oncoming vehicle you can barely tell if you are in your lane or not. Also if your by yourself on the road, you cannot hardly tell if anything is up ahead in the road or on the sides of the road.

2 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 01/02/2017

Main headlights have become 1/2 bightness since the car was purchased. High beams dont the issue, have replaced bulbs three time in last two years, dealership states they cannot see the issue. But the chrome reflectors inside the headlights has peeled completely off. This make driving at night dangerous because I have to use the high beams all the time. I have throughly researched the internet and government websites. This issue started about two years ago.
