    Exterior Lighting · Headlights

    The low beam lamps of the headlights have failed 3 times - twice in the driver side, once on the passenger side. This appears to be a major problem for honda as other honda models have been recalled for the same type of failure.

    My 2003 honda accord has a manufactures defect in the main fuse box which causes a faulty connection and the headlights dim during driving. Honda has this listed as a service bulletin and not a recall. How is this possible since one can not safely drive their car at night if the headlights will not stay light? *nm

    I have problems with my headlights dimming as i drive along. The headlights seem to be flashing high to low. When they dim they lose 20 to 30 percent of their brightness. I can really see them flashing on dark roads were there are no street lights. Honda dealer cannot find the problem. *la
