Headlight Switch problems of the 2010 Honda Civic

For years I have been driving this car complaining about the poor lighting from the headlights. Consistently I have to dab the switch to double check and confirm they are on at night when I am not able to see the road and or any sign that they are actually working. I also regularly took a look at the actual lights to make sure I didn't have one burnt out or something. Now I am selling the car and had it detailed, so the headlights were polished and it was mind-blowing to realize that the low quality of the plastic cover lenses was always the culprit. I guess this happens to every make and model out in the road, so in fact how many of all the accidents occurring every single day could be at least partially blamed on this problem? especially those cause by running over obstacles in the road or even people. . . I always kept my car clean, but this is a different problem, and it's due to the low quality of materials used, just as the killer air bag inflators. . . This car has all the exterior trims and moldings melted, cracked and most gone, and this happened in just a few years, but or course this is not cause for accidents or deaths so nobody cares (arguably the sunvisor exploding in front of you could be). . . But the headlights in every single car out there in the road I believe is something must be taken care of, and it is not the owners/drivers responsibility, or there would be some sort of mandated disclosure about it. Something like: "this car is built to last only one leasing period of 36 to 48 months in a decent shape. Do not buy it or get rid of it sooner, or suffer the consequences. Good luck!".
