Projector headlights are often pointed far too low and make it extremely difficult to see in normal city conditions, highway conditions however especially on backroads. According to an online forum for other acura owner's, this is a common problem that factory standards do not correct.

What owners say
Headlights randomly quit working creating hazard driving at night and inclement weather. Sometimes one side and then randomly both lights discontinue working. According to owners on acura owner website/forum, this is a common issue.
While driving at night, on numerous occasions the right headlight would flicker intermittently and then go out completely. You have to turn headlight switch off and then back on for the headlight to come back on. I have concerns for me and my family's safety.

Please investigate for a possible recall order on this make and model, thank you.
While driving at night headlights do not illuminate the road far enough ahead, creating dangerous driving cituations, acura dealership(3 times) and acura help center tell me this is a "characteristic" of this model. This is not acceptible, as the vehicle is a hazard to drive at night. Please help as I believe acura is ignoring a engineering mistake and calling it a charactristic!
