Honda Cr-v Exterior Lighting Safety Report | Jan 14, 2013
Reported on Jan 14, 2013
| FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2012, I WAS DRIVING IN DARK AND RAINY CONDITIONS THIS MORNING, TAKING OUR SON TO SCHOOL. I HAD BOTH THE HEADLIGHTS AND FOG LIGHTS ON, AND I WAS AMAZED THAT THE LIGHTS HARDLY LIT UP THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME AT ALL. THE CAR WAS CLEAN AND THE LIGHT LENSES WERE NOT DIRTY AT ALL. I COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW POOR THE CAR'S FRONT LIGHTING WAS IN THESE CONDITIONS. NORMALLY, WHEN IT WASN'T RAINING, I THOUGHT THE CAR'S LIGHTS WERE SUFFICIENT. NOT GREAT, BUT SUFFICIENT. SINCE HONDA DOES NOT OFFER ANY HIGHER INTENSITY HEAD LIGHT BULBS, I WILL CHECK WITH AFTERMARKET SUPPLIERS. HONDA IS KNOWN AS A VERY SAFETY CONSCIOUS CAR COMPANY. HAVING HEADLIGHTS THAT PERFORM SO POORLY IN THE RAIN SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY RELATED DEFECT TO ME. MANY VEHICLES ON THE ROAD TODAY HAVE MUCH BETTER AND BRIGHTER HEADLIGHTS. CONSIDERING THE PRICE OF THE 2012 HONDA CR-V EX-L, IT SEEMS LIKE HONDA SHOULD HAVE INSTALLED HIGHER INTENSITY OR EVEN XENON HEADLIGHTS. *TR | |
