2007 Honda Fit: headlights failing or too dim

Filed Sep 23, 2026 · Lights · PA

My low beam headlights stopped working. My high beam headlights continue to operate. I contacted a dealership. They told me I would have to pay a diagnostic fee so I contacted corporate Honda. They said that this recall was fixed and closed but recalls do not expire and that if it was happening again, they would need to fix it. I took my car in today to be diagnostically Reviewed. the dealership told me the cause of the issue was a random ground wire they found, causing the exact part and symptoms of the safety recall to quit working. They said they would not be able to fix it unless they replace the whole harness in the steering column that the part was discontinued. I asked for a detailed explanation of the diagnostic. The explanation further proves that the issue is verbatim the safety recall. I also have a Service video showing the exact issue verbatim safety recall They also sent me home in that vehicle posing risk of crash or fire. I am waiting on corporate Honda to assign me a caseworker.

Headlights and taillights have gone out. Replaced bulbs and fuses. Brakelights and highbeams still functional Faulty relay most likely as a similar problem was already found on the 2002 Honda civic.

Headlights do not work on low beam...high beam only. Had a mechanic work on it, but did not fix it. There was a recall on 2007 honda fits because of poor wiring rubbing against metal and lights don't work.

Honda has recognized a problem with the headlight wiring harness/switch corroding or melting causing the head lights to turn off intermittently or not come on at all. They have sent a recall for certain vins for this model year, but not for all 2007-2008 fits. This issue has occurred with my vehicle at only 75,000 miles while driving at night. Honda is aware of this problem but is not remedying the situation on all 2007-2008 fits, only specific vins. This is a dangerous practice, driving with no headlights is extremely dangerous at night. I have contacted honda but they will not fix the issue because they claim the vehicle is out of warranty. These vins should be covered by the same recall for the other 2007-08 vins.

When I am driving with my high beams on and turn them to low beam they go out and it takes different lengths of times for them to come back on. I had the same issue 2 years ago and the dealership said they fixed it. It worked fine until the other night driving home on a country road which was extremely scary. I took it back and they said they checked it but it wasn't from the recall. I know nothing about cars but I'm having a hard time understanding why the same exact problem is from something else.
