2 Headlights problem

Low beam headlights have failed - bulbs are good, have replaced with known good bulb to no avail. Have read multiple reports of similar problems from other owners of the Honda Pilot from 2003-2008. There was a recall on the earlier (pre 2005) Pilots but the problem was not corrected by Honda in later models. This problem affects the vehicle in any state, parked, motor on or off, while vehicle is in operation or standing still. Hi-beam headlights still function properly identical to the problem in the earlier recall. Vehicle has roughly 180,000 miles on it.
