Filed Dec 27, 2017 · Lights, Seats · 95,000 miles · CA

I own a 2008 cr-v it's at 95k mileage and both headlights on low beams went dim. Can't see the road at all. I had to turn the high beams on to get home. This happens while car is parked or driving. Constant problem. The drivers seat will not move forward, motor dying ??

Headlamps blow out with frightening regularity; they last no more than 3-6 months. This is not due to contamination on the glass, as the blowout does not occur there. It may be a high voltage problem, as the headlamp socket has partially melted on several occasions as a result of a blowout. Both driver and passenger sides have been replaced with heavy duty/high temp sockets, and yet lamps continue to blow and have melted those. The blowouts have occurred both when the vehicle is stationary (starting) and while in motion. If both headlamps go out before you can replace the blown out one, then it becomes a potential cause of a night-time collision. If it was only an issue with headlights going out, that would be an expense worth managing for an otherwise solid car. But the melting of the socket and potential for additional shorts and arcing is troubling as it may lead to fire. Many cr-v owners have complained about and reported this very issue. The federal safety agency needs to force honda to investigate and resolve this very, very common problem.

The headlights burn out randomly 7 drivers side bulbs and 3 passenger side bulbs in a period of 60000 miles and 2 1/2 years .. The last one to burn out lasted only 30 days....have changed to a different brand for the 3rd time... Becoming quite proficient in changing them with all the practice .... Always use new pair of cotton glves at install and electrical connector grease....

I own a 2008 honda crv. Recently I contacted honda customer service to report a safety concern I have with the low beam headlights. I feel it is hazardous to others and myself while I am driving at night with the low beams. It is very difficult to see with the low beams and I am concerned for the safety of others and myself. Honda recommended I take my crv to the dealership in town to see if the lights needed to be adjusted. The dealership said they did and adjusted them, however I still am not able to see well and the adjustment did not make any difference. The dealership told me this is all they can do to fix the problem and that this is the way the headlights are manufactured and it is the best they will be. I do not know what to do next since I have contacted customer service and my dealership. I feel like I have to plan my life around not driving at night because it is so difficult and dangerous. Also, I have asked other people riding in my car at night if they feel it is difficult to see with the low beams and they have confirmed my conclusion that it is very difficult and dangerous. One passenger told me it causes her anxiety to ride with me while I am driving with the low beams. I hope honda can fix this issue with me so I can feel safe driving at night.
