2008 4 CYL HONDA ACCORD - HEADLIGHTS BRIGHTEN AND DIM CONTINUOUSLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT WHEN HEATING/AIR IS ON - THE "FLICKERING" HAS BEEN VIEWED AS AGGRESSIVE DRIVING BY SOME PEOPLE NOT TO MENTION THE EFFECT THE FLICKERING HAS ON MY NIGHT TIME VISION - HONDA SAYS THE FLICKERING IS NORMAL FUNCTION OF ELD - THE FREQUENCY CANNOT POSSIBLY BE NORMAL - MY 01 HONDA HAD THE OCCASIONAL DIMMING OF THE LIGHTS BUT NOT TO THIS SEVERITY. *TR

HEADLIGHTS, TAILLIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS AS WELL AS INTERIOR LIGHTS, ALL LIGHTS DIM AS COMPRESSOR AND COOLING FAN ENGAGE. CAUSING BRAKE LIGHTS TO APPEAR AS BEING APPLIED, ALSO CAUSING HIGH / LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS TO HAVE BEEN ACTIVATED. *TR

THERE IS A LARGE VOLTAGE DROP THAT CAN BE SEEN IN THE LIGHTS AT NIGHT ... THE LIGHTS REALLY DIM AS THE ALTERNATOR CYCLES .. IT OCCURS EVERY NIGHT WHEN DRIVING AND HAPPENS AT STEADY RPMS AND WHEN DECELERATING .. I KNOW THIS IS NOT A MAJOR COMPLAINT BUT THE CAR IS NEW AND IT MAY TURN INTO SOMETHING DOWN THE "ROAD" , TIME WISE FOR OWNERS ..WHAT WORRIES ME THAT IN A FEW MONTHS THAT THE VOLTAGE DROP MAY CAUSE A PROBLEM AND STALL ENGINE OR LIGHTS DIMMING MAY PULL EXCESSIVELY ON BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM AND CAUSE FAILURES IN OTHER AREAS .. THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP AND THE FORUM TO PASS ON CONCERNS THAT MAYBE SAFETY CONCERNS. *TR

MY HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS FLICKER DIM TO BRIGHT APPROXIMATELY EVERY 30 SECONDS WHEN THE A/C IS ON. THIS IS A NEW 2008 HONDA ACCORD EX 4CYL. HONDA HAS CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND SAYS THIS IS NORMAL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSURE TO THE DRIVER AND OTHERS. *CN

EXTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER NOTICEABLY WHEN THE A/C ENGAGES AND DISENGAGES. THIS HAPPENS EVERY 10-15 SECONDS. I HAVE TAKEN TO MY HONDA DEALERSHIP, AND THEY DID NOT WANT TO ADMIT THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE. *TR

HEADLIGHTS / ALL LIGHTS FLICKER ABOUT EVERY 10 SECONDS WHEN A/C COMPRESSOR CYCLES WHILE USING DEFROSTER OR AIR CONDITIONING. *TR

WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WITH THE TEMP CONTROL ON, MY HEADLIGHTS DIM / FLICKER ABOUT EVERY 20-30 SECONDS. THE DEALER SAID THIS IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CAR AND THERE IS CURRENTLY NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. I HAVE SINCE HEARD OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING A SIMILAR PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS AN 08 HONDA ACCORD 4CYL EX-L. HONDA IS NOT GIVING ME ANY INFORMATION ON THIS AND NOT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE TO MY SATISFACTION. THE NUMBER OF FAILURES IS OVER 40 AS THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM. *TR
