Consumer Description

The headlamp assemblies literally failed from the inside. The headlamp light output decreased dramatically as time went on. I read online that many Acura owners were having the same issue and that replacing the bulbs did nothing to remedy the issue as the reflective coating inside the headlamp was failing; only fix is to replace complete assemblies, which I did. I do not have the removed assemblies for inspection. The dealer admitted a problem with Acura headlamps but stated it "was not an issue significant enough for a recall." No inspections by insurance, police. No warning lamps or messages. Assemblies were replaced Feb. 2021 with noted dimming starting about 1 year prior.
