Bought a new 2009 honda accord lxp my head lights flicker on and off every 30 to 60 seconds when driving at night with the AC on. This is a problem because other drivers think that you are flashing your lights at them. Other drivers might think that I am driving aggressively and this can result in aggressive response from other drivers this is a very big security risk.

When vehicle air conditioning is on, headlights and other lighting dim noticeably. Headlights are the most worrisome as diminished lighting can make night driving hazardous. On-coming vehicles have "flashed" their lights in response to this "flicker". Honda states this a normal attribute of this vehicle.

Headlights on brand new 2009 lx-p 4 cylinder honda accord flicker momentarily about every 15 seconds when the air conditioner is on. This is dangerous because it is distracting to the driver and also because it could be interpreted as aggressive driving by other drivers. Honda is aware of the issue but refuses to fix the problem because they say it is "normal". Flickering headlights are not normal...they are dangerous!
