Headlight Switch Problems of Honda Element

Owner was driving for roughly 30 minutes when she stopped for gas and after restarting car neither one of her headlights were working. Her high beams continued to work and had to be used. Owner was told by mechanic that the headlight switch had over heated and burned the wiring within the switch. Honda has already issued recalls for civics and accords for this very problem but not for Honda Elements. Repair cost $200. 00.

While driving down the county road at 60 mph at night the headlights turned off. I turned the headlight switch off and then back on and everything was fine for a couple days. This happened 5 or 6 more times and now the headlights will not turn back on unless I switch to high beams. High beam works fine, this is an electrical issue not bulb failure. "this could have been deadly".

Low beam headlight failure - the headlights on this 2006 Honda Element failed in much the same manner as described in the 2007 Honda fit recall and the 2002-2003 Honda civic recall. The headlight wiring harness connector is burnt on the second pin from the left-hand side, on the top of the connector, if one looked at it as it was removed from the switch.
