2007 honda accord. Headlights flicker periodically. Suspect taillights are doing the same. Reported to dealership. They tested battery and charging system and could not find a problem. Took to my mechanic. Same result. Replaced bulbs in lights. Problem remains. Had electronics shop check all data system but there are no listings. Online bulletin board suggests this is a pervasive issue with honda vehicles but honda has not addressed it. I don't know if this is an electrical problem or just faulty vehicles but the dimming of lights at night time when following another driver could be mistaken as me trying to get their attention. In the seattle, wa area that could be a dangerous thing.... Please help!!

It's a major design flaw of honda to deviate from the standard that the dash lights do not illuminate unless the headlights are on. I'm sure most other drivers are accustomed to this standard. Compound that with other vehicle models (of which we have two) that will turn on headlights automatically, and you have serious potential to drive at night without nothing but the automatic running lights on. These running lights produce enough reflective light, along with the dash lights, to lead the driver to believe they have the headlights on.

I found myself behind a honda with the new LED tail lights in a traffic jam and I am concerned that these are a safety hazard. They made me physically ill. I had to pull over and then I had a migraine and a mini seizure. Not good if I was on the road.

I am an otr cdl-licensed driver, and, on more than a few occasions over the past 6 months, I have observed several models of nissan and honda vehicles cruising at dusk with their dash lights on, but with no exterior marker, parking, tail, or headlights burning. They are virtually invisible, especially when mixed in with other normally-illuminated vehicles. When alerted as they pass by horn and flashing lights, the driver's usual reaction is to slam on the brakes, and then turn on the headlights. If the headlight switch is configured to actuate the dash lights separately from the exterior lights, that is a definite safety problem. The problem also may be with the allowable threshold sensitivity of the twilight sensor.

The brake lights for honda accord '07 have lead indicator lights. It is very glaring even at day time which very irritating to the person driving behind the car. More over, it is a big safety issue for the person to drive in this situation because of this brake lights because it creates head ache. I talked many people about it, they complain the same. It should be replaced with conventional light. I am not sure if any other auto maker using this same kind of light. All this lights should be replaced with conventional brake light.

This is a complaint about a particular model car that I do not own, but have driven behind at night. The brake lights on the new, 2007 I think, honda accord, are painfully bright. They are so bright, I pulled down the visor to shield my eyes the other night, and my 12 year old child complained because she could not effectively do the same. I have noticed this several times at dark, and have finally remembered to sit down and submit a complaint. This model honda accord has LED taillights. The taillights are not too bright, when the car is not braking. It is just when the car is braking and the brake lights are on. I have noticed many other cars using LED lights, such as hyundai's and kia's that do not have this issue. Is there a standard of brightness that lights are measured against? I think these must fail. They are too bright, and should at least be adjusted on unsold cars, and next year's model. Thanks for your consideration.
