My low-beam headlights have failed at least 4 times in the past year. At one point both headlights were out when i went to start the car in the evening. I've taken the car to a local vendor (not the dealer). Initially, they did some electrical work, stating there was a short in the system, but have since replaced the bulbs 4 times in the past year. Honda informs me that my vin is not part of their headlight recall.…

We have changed the headlights on this vehicle numerous times that i have lost count. We have brought the vehicle back to honda and they can't find anything wrong with it. I find it ironic that there was a recall for headlight problems for the same vehicle but different year and honda is not taking any blame for this problem because their is no recall for this year. Currently my daughter has this vehicle away at…

The low beams on my honda have been replaced about 11 times since last summer. It starter with the passenger side- so now, it goes passenger, driver, passenger, etc. I changed the white things that hold the bulbs and replaced both bulbs (again!) now neither low beams work! I have to drive with my bright lights on and i live in a city- this does not make other drivers very happy. *tr

My low beam headlamps burn out every 5-7 weeks, especially the driver's side. I live in a rural area with constant road hazards such as deer, winding unlit roads and icy patches. When the headlamp blows it creates a huge safety hazard since one light is not enough to safely avoid the numerous hazards i face on a daily basis. I return home from work after dark and am never sure if my lights will make throughout the…

Three week after that, the drivers side went out while driving home from work at…

I have experienced multiple headlight failures over the past 2 1/2 years, almost all on the driver's side. I have had it to the dealer multiple times and despite this, the headlights continues to burn out. Last time it was "fixed" it burned out the next day. Last fall, i had both lights burn out which is extremely dangerous. After an on-line search it is clear that this is a pervasive problem which has not been…

Over the past year, i have replaced 4 head light bulbs. Each time my mechanic has stated that the bulb was blown and that it was normal. It cannot be normal wear and tear to have to replace a headlight bulb every 3 or 4 months. I have found other complaints about this same problem but there has been no action taken by the manufacturer. *tr

I have replaced numerous low beam bulbs on our 2006 honda cr-v. I replaced the left one this past week end. The bulb i removed tested fine, but i put a new bulb in anyway but still had no low beam! Then after checking fuses which were ok, it worked. Now it is out again. I checked to make sure everything had tight connections. The low beam is still not working even with the new bulb. This has happened on both the…
