HONDA PILOT HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LIGHT TO SAFELY OPERATE THE VEHICLE. ONLY A FEW FEET IN FRONT OF VEHICLE ARE ILLUMINATED, AND A SHARP CUT-OFF LINE BETWEEN LIGHT AND DARKNESS IS CLEARLY VISIBLE AT A DISTANCE THAT IS NOT FAR ENOUGH TO SAFELY DRIVE AT NIGHT.*AK

#10005016 | January 31, 2003

HEADLIGHTS ON THE NEW HONDA PILOT ARE WEAK AND FAIL TO ADEQUATELY ILLUMINATE THE ROAD AHEAD. IT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN USING A SPOTLIGHT VS A FLOODLIGHT. THE HIGH BEAMS WHEN IN USE JUST SEEM TO DISAPPEAR INTO THE NIGHT. YOU CAN SEE BUT THE LIGHT IS NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH IN MY OPINION. I THINK THE HIGH BEAMS SHOULD BE MORE LIKE A SPOTLIGHT IN LIGHTING UP THE ROAD AHEAD. I THINK IT IS A DEFINITE DESIGN FLAW.
