Illumination lighting on several climate control buttons has been out for several years. Trying to locate them at night is dangerous.
When making turns the doors automatically unlock and cabin lights come on as soon as you start driving straight again door lock and lights go off.
The daylight running lights on the 2008-2010 Honda Accord are very bright and the signal lights are relatively dim and directly inboard of the running lights making the signal lights extremely difficult to see. The daylight running lights mask the signal light. As the daylight running lights are always on, the danger is any time during daylight hours. No fix has been offered by Honda. Permanently disabling the daylight running lights on this automobile is the only sensible answer to this problem.
I have had a hard time seeing some of the newer model cars at dusk dawn and night. It seems that some of the newer models have daytime running lamps that consist only of head lights which the drivers mistaken for have all their lights on. So a car may have headlamps but no tail lamps. I do approve of drl's ( I turn on my lights at all times) but they should include tail lamps. I believe this new setup is more dangerous than helpful.
