Have replaced the headlight bulbs on my 2006 Kia Sedona three times in the last year. Tonight both went out at once. This is a very common complaint on the web, but Kia denies any problem. Bulbs were not touched or allowed to touch anything but a clean glove during installation. Great care was taken both times. This time will check the alternator - seems to be a common source in several blog entries.
On my brand new Kia Sedona both headlights and one turn signal quit working. This happened with less than 500 miles on the vehicle. The problem turned out to be a bad headlight control module. This took approximately a week to get repaired. The repair was covered under warranty.
