Both front headlights on low beam suddenly stopped working, high beams work as do the rest of the indicator lights on the vehicle, I have replaced the bulbs, checked fuses and relays and switches and they still do not work. An issue that has been recalled on earlier years and is very common on my model year with no assistance from Honda.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
We were traveling the freeway and as we drove down the road the low beams turned off. Fortunately high beams were still functional.
On 09/09/2019 1:00 am I was awakened by neighbors that my 2007 honda pilot was on fire, police and fire dept. Responded and put out the flames, flame were in side dash board, ceiling, left and right quarter panels, sun roof and hood burned, front burned, plastic melting and fire everywhere, flames were 1 to 2 ft. High, all front lights in vehicle burned and melted, wires hanging, half the front vehicle totaled, during day light it was visible to see half the dash burned colapsed melted, you can see fuse box protruding hanging under dash. Wire harness, electronics, computer, burned. This does not even include damage inside engine under hood, flames were reaching out of hood. Neighbor has security cameras right in front of car, when she gets back from trip we'll see how it started I hope. I have police report available and pictures attached; you are welcome to visit and inspect vehicle. It's a total loss.
Low beam will not activate....hi beam works...both low beam bulbs are good. I have 175k miles on it and both low beams stop working. Low beam will not activate while moving or srationary.
Complaint - electrical system, exterior lighting I noticed my passenger side low beam headlight failed to operate. I replaced the lamp(bulb) and checked the fuses but this didn't fix the problem. After further research, I found previous honda pilot models with the same issue that were recalled for faulty harness headlight issues. However, honda has failed to recall the model year 2007 for the same exact issues. Most owners on forums with 2007 pilots have the same problem at or around 150,000 miles. My pilot had the issue since 153000. The high beams work and the driver's side is not affected. The problem exists while in motion and stationary and is intermittent.
One low beam headlight had gone out after honda oil change. Then a week later the second low beam headlight had gone out. I have no low beam lights!! I was driving when my last low beam had gone out. If I didn't have dog lights and my brights I could have crashed.
I noticed my passenger side low beam headlight failed to operate. My husband replaced the lamp(bulb) and checked the fuses but this didn't fix the problem. After further research, I found previous honda pilot models with the same issue that were recalled for faulty harness headlight issues. However, honda has failed to recall the model year 2007 for the same exact issues. Most owners on forums with 2007 pilots have the same problem at or around 150,000 miles. My pilot has 154,000. The high beams work and the driver's side is not affected. In addition to this problem the yellow reflector bulb is now not working. It's just a matter of time before the entire unit stops working. The problem exists while in motion and stationary.
07 honda pilot ex, the climate control lighting, radio button lights and the door ajar on/off, cruise control and sunroof button lights have all gone out. I bought this brand spanking new and within 2-3 years these lights went out. Seems to be something that honda hasn't mastered because I see forums that this is an on going issuue. I don't have $300-400 to take it to the service dept to replace bulbs. Maybe a manufacture recall should be set in place.
The clips to the headlights break. One headlight has been replaced 6 or 7 times. Both headlights need to be replaced now. Condensation forms on the inside of the headlight. The honda dealership said they have had many calls about this issue but it is not on the recall list as of right now.
The bulbs for the climate control buttons prematurely burnt off. Cannot see the buttons when driving at night.
