Headlights problems of the 2003 Honda Pilot

Lo beam headlights stopped working. Bulbs fuses and relays are good. High beams work ok. Lights stopped working and I discovered it at night when I went to drive the car home.

Lighting recall. There was a recall in 2012 affecting my 2003 Honda Pilot that I did not know about until my headlights went out while driving and almost wrecked. My low beams do not work but my high beams do, me and my child could of died from this. We were just driving as normal on a highway with no other traffic around and lights just stopped working. After pulling over I realised my hi beams still work. I do not understand why my recall isn't listed when a recall was issued.

The contact owns a 2003 Honda Pilot. Over time, both plastic headlight covers became very opaque, which caused the headlights to appear dim and made visibility difficult. The contact's wife called a Honda dealer who stated that they were familiar with the issue, but could not assist. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and stated that they could not assist. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000.

Both headlights went out. Vehicle has been previously recalled and repaired for this problem in 2012. Had to rely on high beams to get home. Replaced only one bulb which on inspection looked good. Both lights came on. Problem solved or so I thought. Wife drove the car yesterday and smoke began to come out from around the steering column. She drives with the headlights on even during the day. After turning off the lights and the car and allowing it to cool off, she made it home without the lights being on. Update 9/15/cw.

Left work at night. Low-beams partially failed, but I didn't notice until I was going 55 mph on the highway. Had to use brights, and go to a gas station. Vehicle had to be towed, and checked by dealer. Dealer said using 3rd party headlight bulbs was the cause. Of interest, the car already had the low-beam failure recall fixed. Looks like this is still an issue after the recall, and using Honda oem bulbs is the only safe way to go. 3rd party bulbs were purchased from advance auto parts, and I'm unsure of the brand.

The contact owns a 2003 Honda Pilot. While driving 35 mph, the headlights suddenly failed without warning. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was neither diagnosed nor repaired. The current and the failure mileages were 160,239.

Honda Pilot headlights do not provide sufficient light to safely operate the vehicle. Only a few feet in front of vehicle are illuminated, and a sharp cut-off line between light and darkness is clearly visible at a distance that is not far enough to safely drive at night.

Headlights on the 2003 Honda Pilot are not bright enough to illuminate the road at highway speeds. Honda knows of the situation and will not take any action.

The headlights on my new 2003 Honda Pilot are like a small pocket flashlight extremely dim and insufficient for night driving pleaser help me remedy this problem.

Headlights on the new Honda Pilot are weak and fail to adequately illuminate the road ahead. It's the difference between using a spotlight vs a floodlight. The high beams when in use just seem to disappear into the night. You can see but the light is not bright enough in my opinion. I think the high beams should be more like a spotlight in lighting up the road ahead. I think it is a definite design flaw.

Head light is not enough illuminate at night very risky when turn either left or right on a highway. We have stop driving at night after found out. Dt.

Head light too weak, cant see more than 20 feet. Not enough illumination. **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12-12-02 cut over to artemis**770154.

The headlights lights were very dim and the dealership was unable to adjust the lighting projection. Which resulted in poor visibility. The manufacturer indicated it this was a design characteristic.

Consumer states, the head light component provide poor light obstructing the driver's view. Dealer has inspected. Please provide further information. Mr.

Consumer states the low beam headlights are weak or not properly aligned resulting in poor night visibility. Consumer states has to use high beams. Nlm.

Headlights are very weak and do not sufficeintly illuminate the road ahead. This creates a very serious driving hazard on the freeway especially at speeds as high as 70 mph. The Pilot's headlights fail to illuminate. Dt.
