Additional Lighting- Kia Picanto

Nov 09, 2010 3 Replies

My wife has a Picanto and loves it. The one criticism she has of it is the headlights, especially when visibility is poor.



The "bumper skirt" has space for extra lights but the local Kia dealer insists these lights aren't available to buy, only fitted when the car was new.



We don't really want some bodged addition so does anyone know of an "after market" light manufacturer which makes quality lighting kits for specific models, please.



TIA

Fit a pair of Osram Nightbreaker lamps. A genuine 50% increase in lumens for same wattage. The only downsides are the high price and reduced lamp life.

They must be available as spares, surely? Likely to be £££ though.

Exactly what I was going to say.

Again exactly what I was going to say, plus 'get the alignment checked, and check the height adjuster if it has one'. I thought my A3 had crap lights, but properly aligned with better bulbs they were fine. Try
