Fog Light Switch Problems of Honda Civic

Headlights are too dim, with poor visibility at night, even when the fog lights are on. H road needs to be illuminated a little bit more, or even have a further beam. The led version of the Civic has a excellent headlight pattern/brightness. However, lx, sport and ex share the same dim headlights at night. That is. A safety issue and can cause a crash, or hit something that should have been illuminated more.

Honda headlights fog up inside the lens when raining or humid outside. This fogging of their headlights diminish the lighting output to non-existent. I almost crashed while driving at night because I couldnt see the road. I made Honda aware and they do not want to address the issue. When calling Honda customer service they say any Honda dealer can fix the headlights under warranty. When I went to various Honda dealers they said they have nothing to do with Honda headlights because they are not manufacturers.

My lowbeams all of a sudden stopped working. I checked the fuses, they are fine. My running/fog lights, blinkers, and high beams all work. . Read more...

In August of 2011, I noticed a burning smell while using the low beam headlights. Sometimes the smell was quite strong, but I could not find where it was coming from. Until I could find the problem, I decided only to use the car when I did not need to use the headlights. A couple of times I had to use the lights. Eventually, they stopped working and I had to find the problem. When I took the collar off of the steering column, I noticed that the connector to the headlight (combination switch) was melted. There was a greenish/blue corrosion on all of the terminals and it looks like the switch terminals are made of a different metal from the connectors. It now makes sense. . . Two dissimilar metals can cause a galvanic reaction which leads to corrosion which leads to high resistance which leads to heat build up. Current draw on the wire for the low beams is 9 amps. I also have fog lights connected to this wire, but through a relay that only draws 0. 1 amps. I called Honda and they state that my VIN is not covered at this point. The local Honda dealer claims that the cause is the fog light wire being connected to the low beam wire. My response is that wire only adds 0. 1 amps to the circuit and cannot be the cause of the melted connector. . . The cause is from the corrosion at the terminals. After some research, I see that my headlight switch (part #35255-s5a-a02) is used on many Honda products that have the same issue with melted connectors. These models include the Civic, fit, insight, and crv. Millions are being recalled for this, but Honda will not include mine. They know there is a problem and have developed a repair kit. . . Part # 35012-s5a-307 to remedy. It includes the switch, a connector, and some wire. A recall campaign needs to be started for the 2003 model year (like mine) and any year or model that this headlight switch (#35255-s5a-a02) is used in. Updated 11/25/11.
