Consumer Description
The low-beam headlight system has deteriorated, and the reflective component makes the low beams unusable at night. This component poses a safety hazard. The dim headlights make nighttime driving extremely hazardous, forcing me to rely on high beams, creating visibility risks for other drivers. Reduced visibility has endangered my safety and the safety of others, particularly on unlit or busy roads where clear vision is essential. The Acura dealership has confirmed the issue. Their only solution is replacing each headlight assembly, which would cost over $2,000. Low Beam Bulbs have been replaced multiple times with different brands, but the issue remains. The headlighting dimming issue can not be remedied by replacing the low beam bulbs; the real issue is the reflective film issue. This issue is a serious safety concern, and it is disappointing that Honda/Acura is not willing to fix this component. There were no warning lamps or error messages to indicate the dimming issue. This issue persists, with no alternative solution except the expensive complete assembly replacement advised by Acura.
