Kia ceed headlamps

[robert23]

Hello Cee'd owners,

i have my ceed now for more than two weeks (i bought a used one, it is teen months old). I noticed that strength of short headlamps (i mean the lights that have the short reach - i hope everyone understands this) is very bad.

Did anyone noticed the same? I also noticed that the bulb in left light is not set/placed right. I tried to reset it, but I was not able as it seems the hole in headlamp is not formed right.

Many thanks for answers,

Regards

Robert

Not noticed anything you describe. When you say the bulb is not set right, have you removed the bulb and re-inserted it? I know you see a lot of cars with mis-aligned lights, usually on one side and normally this is after a bulb replacement and thats not been done properly. I've done it myself (Vectra) and you think the bulb is in there properly and the retaining clip is holding it but it only needs to be in slightly skew and it'll appear misaligned to on-coming cars etc.

I have no complaints about mine either!

I thought my headlamps (dipped beam and main beam) were extremely good for 'ordinary' bulbs, and also the front spots. Certainly no complaints.

If I were you I'd take it back to the dealer and let them look at it, pretty simple to check with the correct equipment.

Bunker is right, cos haven't we decided in an earlier post that simply changing the bulbs isn't a road-side job?? (bloody well should be!!)

Ok. I see nobody noticed the same, then I think something is wrong with mine. I will take it back to the dealer and let them check the thing.

Thanky anyway

Hello,

I managed to solve the problem. Both bulbs were misaligned. Now it is better, but I still think they could be a little stronger. Compared to VW Polo which my girlfriends mother owns, they are pretty weak.

Wish a great day to all
