While the vehicle has LED headlights, the visibility at night is not the best. This is worse during raining days, especially at night. The car does not have an option for fog lights which could help with this issue. The drl is really just cosmetic

What owners say
The headlights that come with the car are too dim. It becomes a hazard on very dark roads, specially when its raining. Because of the dimness its is also difficult to see when the vehicle drives past you from the opposite direction.it results in vehicle being driven than slower speed limits.
The headlights that come with the car are too dim, especially when its raining at night, just forces you to slow down a ton to be able to see things.
The headlights are totally inadequate. Low and high beams illuminate road only directly in front of vehicle and not enough further down the road causing an unsafe condition of over driving the headlights.
High beam headlights are inadequate. They were initially adjusted too low, but even after adjusting them, they are still too dim. It is very easy to over-drive the reach of the high beams.
The headlights are totally inadequate. Low beams illuminate road only directly in front of vehicle and not enough further down the road causing an unsafe condition of 'over driving' the headlights. This condition persisted even after having a honda dealer adjust the headlights. In addition the high beams are practically non-existent compared to all other vehicles I have owned. They too are totally inadequate. I cannot believe that they are able to pass a dot test. If they are able to pass a dot test then I would say your test is not stringent enough. Thank you for looking into this to see if it is a severe enough safety issue to require a recall.
The headlamps do not extend out far enough causing a safety concern. I have had them adjusted twice and they still do not extend out enough.
