Both low beam headlights burn out at the "same time". This has happened twice in 1 year. I have not had any inspections done yet. If this happens at night or in a tunnel it could be life threatening. Purchased used from a friend who has taken care of the vehicle. I have not checked with him to see if he ever had it happen due to he is no longer living here. First time I just replaced both bulbs and they worked fine. Now about 8 months later same problem. No moisture visible. High beams work but only when switch is in automatic mode. I will replace again, nothing else I can do at the moment.

FRONT RIGHT DRL, PART OF THE RUNNING LIGHT BURNED OUT, TO REPLACE THE RUNNING LIGHT YOU MUST REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WHICH CAN BE UP TO $1500 OR MORE. MOST PEOPLE THAT PURCHASE A HONDA ACCORD CANNOT AFFORD TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT BURNS OUT JUST LIKE ANY OTHER LIGHT FOR $1500. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, HONDA MOTOR CO. NEEDS TO RECALL AND REPAIR THIS MISTAKE FOR FREE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY.
