My headlights on my 2000 Kia Sportage were very dim, so i figured it was my battery...i replaced the battery and still they are the same. COuld this be a fuse or do i just need new bulbs? Any Suggestions? thanks <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Need a Spot
Check for corrosion on the terminals. I have had mine go dim, and by just touching the connector they brighten right up, and after cleaning they have been good for the last 6 months. I'd also verify the condition of the ground wire behind the parking light on each side.

Body Damage is Cool
I would assume that the problem with the headlights and the starter / ground connections or whatever the problem with the starting system are the same problem. I bet that when you get the starter problem fixed then the headlights will be magically cured.
