The headlights are way too dim - even after changing bulbs and the lens is not fogged at all. You can't even tell if your lights are on at night - this is a serious safety issue. Other acura vehicles have a recall for this. In research - the reflective coating that is supposed to illuminate your beams breaks down in a short time resulting in poor lighting of roadways at night. Recently had someone in the car for the 1st time driving at night - and they asked if I had my lights on. So it is very noticeable by people. Is there not a standard of lighting that has to be met for safety? And if this is issue - should it not be a recall?? Look at ilx recall for same issue- 2013-2014.
2014 Acura RDX lights complaints
Page 7 of 7: complaints 161 to 163 of 163, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My 2014 acura rdx running/low beam headlights are dangerously dim. I first noticed this last year and changed out the halogen bulbs. I do not do much driving at night. In the past month with the time change, I can barely see at night while driving. The halogen bulb has been changed out again, so its not the bulb. It is something within the headlight assembly itself - very difficult to drive at night. At times I must turn on the high beams when driving down a dark road. This cannot be fixed without purchasing new complete headlight assemblies.
Headlight flickering - was told it was bulb but have found complaints on the ballast and other acura models with problems with headlights. Acura is making over $300-500 plus per service call and claims this is a non extended warranty problem. Light flickers while parked, in motion at random times.
