When my headlights are on, the brake lights stay on also. So people behind me think I'm braking consistently. When the headlights are off I have no brake lights. Which is so dangerous. I'm going to buy a bulb which the part store had no idea what kind of bulb it takes. I do believe it may be a short obviously if the bulb shines its not burnt out. I think this is going to be a pain in my as s figuring this out will update my situation.

I have had this issue happen 3 times in the last 6 months. I have replaced the bulbs on the front and back because they just blow. I followed the electrical lines as far as I could see with no bad wires. Kia needs to do a recall on the electrical system in my opinion.

My brake lights were out. Good thing I was pulling into work and my client noticed before I was pulled over by the police.
