When driving at night in the ex trim, the halogen lightbulbs are ineffective for lighting the roadway ahead. Outside of city driving where outside lighting is minimal, it is nearly impossible to see a safe distance ahead of the vehicle. In addition, because of the cutoff design of the projector housing, street signs such as stop signs and speed limit signs are barely illuminated at all.

The headlights on this car are dangerous at night on streets with no lighting and especially dangerous when its raining. The lights do no illuminate speed limit signs, stop signs, caution signs, yield signs etc. They do not illuminate overhead interstate signs. I have taken the car to the dealer and they said the lights are working as designed. The insurance institute for highway safety also gives a poor rating to these lights. Something needs to be done before someone gets killed.

Headlights on LX trim are extremely dim. Insufficient for night driving, curvy/hilly roads, rainy conditions. Lane markers are nearly impossible to see.

This is an ongoing issue. The headlights on my ex model are seriously deficient and dangerous, especially during driving in low light area during turns. At my own expense I've purchased led bulbs, which have improved visibility ahead of me, including being, now, able to see the sides of the road, however, visibility during turns is non-existent. After 30 + years of driving I have never been so uncomfortable driving at night.

I have a 2020 Telluride and the headlights provide so little light that it's dangerous to drive at night. The normal beams are so diffuse they provide insufficient light forward to see the road clearly and provide no light to the sides, so you can't see what you are turning into when you turn. I called Kia and two local Kia dealers; they are aware of the problem but say they have no way to fix it. Good headlights are fundamental and, really, after 100 years of cars with headlights, you'd think they could get this right. Please force Kia to recall the cars and fix the headlights as soon as possible. Thank you. Sandra thank you. Sandra

This is a new vehicle, purchased 8/2019. It is my belief that the headlights (both high and low beam), as equipped, are dangerously deficient and do not provide nearly adequate illumination. I am hesitant to drive the vehicle at night. I consider this hazardous and worthy of correction by the manufacturer. Kia Telluride ex AWD.

Halogen headlamps on the ex model do a poor job of illuminating the road ahead when in low beam mode. I can hardly see a few feet. I also drive a Lexus whose headlamps do a fantastic job of illumination in low beam. I am having to periodically alternate between high beam and low beam modes (to avoid blinding opposite traffic) when driving the Telluride on unlit roads or poorly lit roads. Why didn't Kia provide led headlights for all trim levels? this is a serious safety issue.

The Telluride ex has an issue with it's headlights, especially in a dimly lit area. When the headlights are in normal mode (not high beam) on a street that does not have streetlights (no ambient lights) or you are going around a turn, or you are going slightly uphill, there is very little visibility on the road. You can see a distinct cut off of the head light and you cannot see beyond it. This makes it very very difficult to drive in a low light environment. If I am on a highway or a well lit road, there is no issue. My other car 2010 Audi A4 does not have this issue and the headlights illuminate the road adequately in any condition

The headlights at night are poor. They do not illuminate traffic signs such as: Speed limit, stop, street/highway info, yield, warning, etc. When you approach a the upside of a hill, visibility is limited to 30-50 feet. Side vision when turning is non-existent. This occurs at night when in motion and stopped.
