I have had to replace the headlight bulb as many as 6 times since we bought the car new in 2006. The last time was 11-25-09, during a heavy rainstorm. I also suspect that the daytime running light option is responsible for the short lifespan of the bulbs. *tr

I bought an honda 2006 cr-v new in 2006. In oct. 2009 i started experiencing multiple low beam headlight bulb failures. This started after the expiration of the warranty. Since that time i have replaced the left and right bulbs 7 times. This bulb failure is spontaneous and when it happens at night while driving, it presents a very dangerous situation. There have been a number of complaints involving honda cr-v low…

I decided to write this after searching the web for ideas on what's going on with my crv, this seems to be a very common problem. The headlights keep burning out - it's getting annoying to always be replacing them. I cannot service my own vehicle and always seem to be into our mechanic getting a new bulb replaced for this vehicle. Now my daughter is driving the car and i hate having her come home at night and tell…

Beginning in 2008 i began noticing that i was changing my headlamp bulbs on a fairly frequent basis. As much as 3 or 4 times a year. Mostly on the drivers side. Recently the low beam went out again, april 2013, and when i replaced the bulb the low and high beams both shined very dimly and when i switched on the high beams both lamps went out. I am at a loss but suspect that there is a switch problem. Honda also…

The lowbeam headlights on our 2006 honda crv have failed/burned out numerous times. Several times, both lowbeams (right and left) have failed while we were driving, which is a major safety hazard. Since approximately 2008, the lights have burned out several times a year, every year. We have contacted the honda dealership as well as the american honda corporate office and have been given the runaround. They refuse to…

While driving at highway speeds, the vehicle suffered a right hand low beam headlight failure. Since this first failure the bulb of this headlight has had to be replaced approximately 10 times, and continuously burns out again. The fuses remain good, the relays remain good. It appears there is a wiring harness problem affecting this year model as a google search reveals hundreds of owners of this vehicle…

This vehicle blows out headlights constantly. We replace nearly every couple of weeks; this vehicle, and its twin, our 2005 crv. We have repeatedly notified honda of the problem, they deny a problem. I can't believe headlights only work for a few thousand miles each. We even have searched amazon, ebay to see if they sell them in hundred packs, its that ridiculous. We were heading to the store to buy a headlamp…

The low beam headlight on this vehicle has burned out 6 times for each side (i've replaced 6 on the passenger's side & 6 on the driver's side) since i bought the vehicle less than 6 years ago. The ironic thing is that i used to own a 2003 cr-v and i recently received a recall in the mail for the 2002-2004 models for "potential failure with the wiring of the low beam headlights which may cause the low beam headlights…

Since buying this car new i have had multiple low beam headlight bulbs burn out. A total of 25 bulbs have failed since 2007. After reviewing the information on the internet and this web site it is an obvious safety problem which should be investigated and addressed by a recall to fix the electrical problem. This was done on earlier cvr models. *tr

The first recorded incident was at 82411 miles, when after replacing both headlamps multiple times at my own expense, i took the vehicle in to a third party service center (that i've used for years on multiple vehicles) to have the headlight circuitry evaluated (no problems found). As stated earlier, as of this time, i had already purchased several replacement bulbs. Since this time, i, again, have replaced both…

The low-beam headlights on this vehicle do not last, causing me to have to drive a lot of the time with only one low-beam headlight, which is a safety problem. In the five years we have owned this vehicle, i have replaced each of the front low-beams (left and right) at least 10 times each. Honda only has their warranty on their lights, and hasn't tried to do anything further with the vehicle problem to this point.…

I bought a 2006 honda crv new from a honda dealer in maryland. The car had only 3 miles on it when purchased. About a month after having the car the driver's side low beam went out. I had it replaced. Three months later the beam went out again and had it replaced by a friend. This has been an ongoing problem over the last six years. I have replaced my driver's side low beam at least ten times over this time frame.…
