2016 Sportage Lights

[BigGingerBob]

Hi everyone,

I've recently bought a 2016 Sportage 3 so it's a good model with all the bits and bobs you want on a car. However... The headlights are the sttest lights I've ever used on a car, they're even worse than the ones on a work Iveco Daily we have.

I would have just assumed anything made beyond 2010 would have decent Xenon lights rather than candles but apparently not.

So the question... Were there factory lighting upgrades where I might be able to get the parts and fit?
Are there other ways of improving the lights?

The majority of my driving is at night on unlit dual carriageways so it's important to have good lights and I'm used to really good BMW xenons from my 1 series.

I bought a Sportage for the missus and agree, so poor.

It has beam assist on mine though, does yours?

Yeah, beam assist. But that doesn't seem to help much, there's more light but it doesn't do anything... If that makes any sense?
