When the high beams are activated the additional effect is negligible/deliver inferior performance.  I have continued to reach out to Kia & thus far they have not been helpful. I believe driving at night time is putting me at a safety risk.  The dealership did/does not have a way to test the headlamps in any sort of calibration or measuring means other than to turn on the headlights while in the service area and shine them on a wall.  When driving during the night time hours I keep my speed on rural roads typically below the speed limit as I do not feel I could brake/stop the vehicle in the field of vision that the headlight illumination provides.  I have reached out repeatedly to the Kia Assistance number & thus far there has been no action or contact made by any positive measures taken to address my concerns. I have even contacted my insurance agent twice to express my frustration of Kia's inadequacy to provide a solution or address my concerns.  I ask please for any assistance that you may be able to help remedy this safety/risk concern.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"TELLURIDE","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
