    The low beam headlights on my 2005 cr-v have been replaced 6 times over the past 7 months. Sometimes the passenger side, sometimes the drivers side, and one time both headlights went out at night. There has been a recall of this exact problem with 2002-2004 cr-v due to a faulty wiring harness, but not with any later models yet. I have informed honda of this problem and they have no resolution at this time. *js
