My low beam headlights don't work continuously. My hi beams work and the day running lights work but the low beams work intermittently. I was on a dark highway when I noticed my low beams were not working but when I switched to my hi beams they worked fine. Later dates the low beams worked and then didn't work on other dates. Have read many instances on line that this problem is an isolated incident with the cr-v. Different years than mine but cr-vs just the same. One of my headlights was replaced in september 2016. I only noticed the problem in december 2017 problem when I was on a dark road and highway. I don't usually drive at night. I will be taking my vehicle into honda to have the problem analyzed. My cr-v has less than 54,000 miles. Was last serviced august 14, 2017.

While driving at 60 MPH the headlights just shut off. Was able to manually hold on high beam lights. The next morning all lights were working fine. Called the dealer and there is no recall.

Tail lights and headlights on the vehicle dim everytime the fan kicks on. Took it to the shop twice and they said that it is normal for them to dim when the fan kicks on. The first time however they said it was the battery and they replaced it, however no improvement have been seen and they still dim which can get dangerous at night time driving.
