I seem to be replacing head lights at an extraordinary rate. (6-10 headlights in each side in the past year) I have changed out the fuses that did not seem to help anything. I have tried the super awesome lights and that didn't work. I have tried the cheap ones and that didn't work. The weird thing is that they are are blowing out when I turn them on after starting up the car. I have asked Kia about it and they said to buy their expensive head lights that are pretty much the same as the ones you get from auto stores. I am tired of spending so much money on these.

In the future, just purchase the standard Sylvania H7. Don't get the super expensive ones. You need to replace the headlamp in pair, and DO NOT get the glass touching anything (your skin, glove, whatever) while installing them.
