Headlights Problems of Kia Motor Optima Hybrid

The right passenger headlight won't work I changed the light bulb and it's completely off. At first when I attempted to change the bulb the light flickered and I thought that it might've not been put on all the way or it might've became loose. But then it went completely out causing a road hazard and unsafe to drive as lights are very important. It also has caused me to be pulled over by many police when I shouldn't be going through this or anyone's one else that is going through the same problem with kia. This first occurred when I was driving on the highway could've been a bad situation. It could be a bad wiring as I read from other reports but kia has not done a recall. This situation should be covered by kia and no one should pay as it is a safety issue and accidents could occur.

I have a 2013 kia Optima Hybrid with faulty headlights that have completely gone out/failed over 10 times starting 3 mos after purchasing the car. After 1/2 years and 4 fixes, including completely replacing the headlight package, I filed the lemon law paperwork (I purchased in April 2013. ) in Nov of 2014. I was told they get a final fix. They replaced the entire headlight system again. Then, in Dec 2015, my headlights went out again & had to be completely replaced again. Kia corporate has been rude to me and denied any assistance even though they had completed the final fix a year before. I have phone videos (with witnesses) from years ago, 11/18/14, 1/25/16, 3/18/17, 3/27/17, 4/8/17 and 12/10/17. Most of the times I have been out and have had to drive home in dangerous conditions. I love my car but hate the dangerous issues. Kia has made me feel as though I'm not important, my safety is a non-issue and that they fix it every time, but it is not truly fixed if I have had 6 major repairs over 4 years. I've been at the point of a nervous breakdown over the stress and fear for my safety and of letting kia bully & convince me I do not qualify to get my car replaced. I am putting my safety first not to mention the emotional stress, interference with my work, putting family & friend's safety at risk. Never knowing if and when it will happen again & have not driven it many times because of this issue. I've been told too many times this is the last fix! I don't like conflict and have put my faith in kia too many times and put my faith in them over myself. I'm done being the nice person. I have had meltdowns over this, arguments with my significant other over this, interference with my work, been stranded out of town because of this! kia told me today they will not replace my car at this time. I cannot go on like this any longer. I need your help. Sincerely, kelley sullivan.

Headlights on this vehicle are horrible. Worst of any vehicle I have ever seen. Approximate illumination range of the car is 15 meters (50 feet) on high beams. All other aspects of vehicle seem fine, but this is a serious shortcoming. Lamps are properly aimed and provide virtually useless nighttime visibility to the vehicle operator. This condition is widely discussed on the internet and the remedy is 3rd party aftermarket lighting (hid), which voids the vehicle warranty.
