Consumer Description
MY 2015 RDX HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT DRIVING IT AT NIGHT IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE REPLACE MY BULBS 3 TIMES AND EVEN UPGRADED THEM TO LED'S AND THE PROBLEM DTILL EXIST. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL ACURA DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE BULBS AND SUGGESTED I NEEDED A NEW HOUSING. THEY INSTALLED THE NEW HOUSING AND IT STILL ISN'T ANY BETTER. I'VE SPENT OVER $1000 TRYING TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS $2200 TO REPLACE THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE I THOUGHT I WAS PURCHASING A LUXURY VEHICLE AND NOT SOMETHING THAT SUCH A MAJOR ISSUE IN WORKMANSHIP WOULD GO UNNOTICED AND UNSPOKEN FOR BY THE COMPANY. I WORRY ABOUT THE SAFETY OF ME AND MY SON DUE TO THE POOR VISIBILITY THAT I AM LOOKING TO TRADE THIS CAR AS IT IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE AFTER DARK.
