My headlights and fog lights suddenly stopped working in my '07 honda fit sport. I had a honda dealership inspect it, and they determined that the problem was not with the bulbs or with the fuses for these lights. The hi-beams and turning signals still work for the car, but I do not have regular headlights for driving at night which could definitely present a dangerous situation for me and others on the road.

Driving home in the evening, the low beam headlights on my 2007 honda fit sport suddenly failed for no apparent reason giving me no forward vision on a very dark highway while traveling at 60 MPH. In order to get my car home I found I had high beams only therefore no choice but to use them to get home which was blinding oncoming traffic as they continuously flashed me. I had researched the problem online and found that this was a very common issue on my model and year and that an investigation was put in motion. I brought this information in the form of printouts to my local honda dealer when I brought my car to be repaired. My honda dealer charged me an $80 "diagnostic fee" to troubleshoot the problem and told me that the wiring in a harness to the low beam switch had failed due to "corrosion and melting wire from overheating" they responded that it would be necessary to rewire the harness connector and replace the switch to fix the problem, an almost $300 dollar repair. When I confronted them about the obvious problem or design flaw in the vehicle they responded that there was nothing they could do about it and required the full price of the work. At the time of bringing the vehicle to the dealer, a thursday, their "wiring tech was not available and parts were not available that day and to bring the car back on the following tuesday forcing me to drive at night with the potentially dangerous practice of using my high beams only as I have no other car and my job requires me to drive home at night often.

This is exactly what happened to my 2007 honda sport fit..while driving at night the headlights aim too low causing limited visibility. While driving the lights seem to move up and down..its crazy..I read another complaints from 08/03/06 which stated the exact same thing. I will have to bring it in but a previous complaint stated they lifted the beam but it still did it.

The low beams and fog lights suddenly went. I pulled up to a gas station and turned off the car. When I went started the engine and turned went to turn the lights back on nothing happened. They haven't worked since. The high-beams are unaffected. Bulbs and fuses were tested but both were fine.
Low-beam headlights stopped working, high beam headlights still work. Bulbs and fuses replaced with no effect.
The low beam lights stopped working all of a sudden while driving at night. If my son hadn't figured out to flip on the high beams, he would have gotten in an accident. It looks like the wiring harness to the switch is bad. All of the fuses are fine.
Low beam headlights quit working forcing my teenage daughter to drive home with high beams. Cost to diagnose by dealer $106. Now have to pay an estimated additional $315 to repair. Cannot get part aftermarket and dealer has to order. I just read that this may be a common problem and wanted to add my experience.

2007 honda fit sport I bought 2 of these cars at the same time. I have noticed after about 25k miles that on both cars the left side of the car has an electrical short that causes one of the lights in the headlight that blinks when you use the auto clicker to lock and unlock the car to go out until you push the light. Honda looked at one of the cars and said so sorry don't know why it did that but it works now. Now about 4 months later my other car that honda hasn't looked at is doing the same thing.
Excessive glare from poor design of headlight and LED taillights causing excessive glare creating safety risk for other vehicles and obstruction of pedestrian and road hazards. This applies to all accord coupe and sedans with LED tail lights model lx ex vp se sited to date. Headlights are overly bright and misadjusted also causing blinding of other vehicles and pedestrians. Serious safety issue contributing to distraction, glare blinding and eye strain.
I was following behind a new 2007 honda accord with the new LED brake lights at night. When the driver stepped on the brakes and leds are so bright that it gave me instant eye strain pain in my eyes. I also could not see around the vehicle or to the sides. Those leds are way too bright and are blinding at night. I have talked to other people who have noticed the same thing. Even during the day, they are annoying at best.
