• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Has anyone experienced fogging headlights? This happened a few times.

I haven’t noticed it on mine.
I think a visit at the Kia service dept would be good to get it checked out. And have it documented... and possibly fixed/replaced.
 
They say some fogging is normal.. If you get puddles in there, then that would not be normal and should be replaced.
 
When does this usually happen? After a wash? In the morning? Does it eventually burn off.

If it burns off after an hour or so it is normal. With other cars I have owned I noticed condensation inside the headlights after washing. When I contacted the dealers/manufacturers about this "issue" they said it was normal as long as it burned off and it wasn't more than about 1/3 of the headlight.

One of my headlights fogged after washing. It was minimal (in the lower left corner of the light) and disappeared after a short time.
