Driving vehicle when both low beam lights went out. Bulbs have been replaced multiple times and bulbs were replaced again. Now, it appears that drivers side light bulbs are much dimmer (almost not visible) in comparison to the passengers side bulbs. Operation of the bulb also appears to be sporadic. Vehicle is not drive-able at night due to concerns with exterior lighting. *tr

Low beams keep burning out after 2 to 4 months of use. I have replaced both headlights at least 5 times in the lat 3 years. Just ridiculous. Dealership just replaces bulbs and the bulbs continue to burn out way to quickly. Even purchased longer life headlights and replaced both at same time, one bulb still burned out within 3 months. Honda needs to address this problem which many are experiencing on their 2006 crv.…

Wiring harness on passenger side headlight is breaking leading to marker light, turn signal and headlamp failure. The wires are breaking at the point where they leave the wire sleeve in the harness. In this location, the conductors are protected from stress only by heat shrink tubing and the wire insulation. Stress from the weight of the rising wire harness and transferred strain from the back of the lamp connectors…

Low beam headlights constantly need to be replaced. Going through my 3rd replacement in about a year. Usually one goes out and then shortly after, the other one goes out. I had them both replaced about a month and half ago. I was leaving work and turned on the headlights and within a second, they both went out. It was dark so i had to drive home with my high beams on.

I was driving on the highway at night when i noticed it was very dark in front of my car. It turned out both of my lowbeams had failed at the same time. Thank goodness my highbeams kept working, although that meant shining a light in oncoming drivers' eyes. I thought this was just an odd problem that happened to me, but after reading other people's stories, i know it was part of a larger problem honda has. This is a…

I have replaced the low beam bulbs 4 times the past 2 years on the passenger side and 2 times on the drivers side. This time the drivers side went out and after trying 2 new bulbs they still will not illuminate. I also have an issue with the dash light not coming on. The vehicle is scheduled for a check in 4 days. Over the life of this car the bulbs seem to last a very short time. *jb

2006 honda crv since april 2013 i have gone through 17 headlight bulbs. That is the most i have ever had to put in any of my cars. If you type in troubleshooting problems with 2006 headlights you will see that there are many other people that are having this very same issue. I would like to think that you as a company would want to get this problem fixed or at least look at getting a fix. When i talked with my area…

My wife and i have owned our honda crv since early 2006. It has had numerous electrical issues, specifically issues with the headlights and interior lights. We have had to replace the headlight bulbs at least once a year since purchasing the crv. It is clearly a major defect with the honda crv electrical system. I have seen numerous complaints on the internet by others with this same issue. Honda is responsible and…

Headlight went out again. I have replaced headlights approximately every 3 months in the last 2 years. Appears to be an electrical issue, as reflected in recalls for earlier model crv's. Honda needs to do recall for this for later model crv's. *tr

Both low-beam headlights failed on november 25, 2012 while on a cross-country trip. A honda dealer checked the electrical system the following morning and reported no problems. The dealer replaced both bulbs and advised that honda cr-vs were prone to headlight problems. On the evening of april 23, 2013 (less than five months after the first double failure, vehicle mileage approximately 106,800 miles), both low-beam…

I had a brake light go out on the passenger side of the 2006 cr-v. I replaced the light bulb, but when you press the brake pedal, if the headlights are on, the break light will not work. I talked with numerous people on the internet and at the auto parts store who have had the exact same problem with the same model of vehicle as mine (cr-v). My honda master mechanic believes that there should be a recall on this…

Low beam headlights fail every few months, sometimes while driving, necessitating replacement. It is a serious safety hazard. Many people with the 2006 cr-v have complained about this issue to honda, the nhtsa and all over the internet. Why hasn't honda issued a recall? Honda did have a recall for the 2002-2004 cr-v for the same issue, but not for the later years, saying that the headlight system was different in…

Ambler pa, passenger side low beam headlights have blown out three times in 11 months. Feb 2012, january 2013 and last night 02/02/13 during a snow storm. Driver side has blown out once in the past year. This situation is very dangerous. Considering the number of similar complaints with the 2006 honda cr-v, a recall is probably an appropriate action. *tr
