Headlights problems of the 2005 Honda Accord

My headlights appear to not illuminate very far in the night on the low beam. Additionally as a contributing the outer casing of the headlights are dull and the plastic appears to have deteriorated. While the dealership I saw 3 other Hondas with the same clouded outer casings. On the hwy at night I notice nights are noticeably providing less light on the road - and I am not comparing to the new style type lights - just regular lights on other cars shine way further out. The dealership suggested at nearly $100 each I could have a body shop work on them. This appears to be safety hazard from poorly designed materials used for the headlights and it feel Honda should remedy this as it is making my headlight not perform as intended or expected. The dealers attitude ( beaverton Honda) was not to do anything but they did acknowledge the damage visibility due to this and said it was from being used outside in weather? it's a car not an indoor house cat!.

Headlights have top layer coming off the finish. The headlight then turns yellow and the clear lens becomes cloudy. This greatly reduces the amount of light on the road when driving at night. This causes increased danger of a car hitting an animal or pedestrian when driving at night. Aftermarket lens cleaning kits only offer a temporary fix. The only true fix is to replace the headlights, at a cost of almost $1000. The headlights are a safety devise that should last the life of the car, just like a seat belt or air bag. This headlight problem can be found on every car manufacture, not just Honda. Cloudy headlights should be replaced at no cost.

The contact owns a 2005 Honda Accord. The contact stated that the headlights became dim when the cooling fan was on. The contact stated the cooling fan cycles in and out even if the air conditioner was not on. The dealer stated that they were aware of the failure and that the fuse box needed to be replaced. The article shown to the contact stated that the identical failure was related to all 2000 and 2005 vehicles. The repair did not remedy the failure and the dealer stated that was the best that they could do. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 46000 and the current mileage was 47700.

While driving at night my 2005 Honda Accord lx both headlights went out.

Exterior lights (headlights) had to be replaced twice. As I your recall listing Honda Accord had recall on 1/30/2007 and we were not notified of this action. 1. 11/24/2007--driver side. . . $13. 00 2. 01/12/2007---replaced at n/c. We are wondering why we did not get a recall notification? also hazard indicator has failed or does not stay lit as designed. Repaired once.
