2008 Honda Pilot Exterior Lighting

WINCHESTER VA 22602 NOV 23 2018 7:38 PM . THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT IN THE DRIZZLE ON VERY DARK ROAD. I HAD TO KEEP HITTING THE HIGH BEAMS AND RUN ON THE DRIVING LIGHTS. WHILE HITTING THE HIGH BEAMS WHEN POSSIBLE.THIS SAME PROBLEM WAS RECALLED ON EARLIER MODELS OF HONDA PILOTS BUT IT DOES NOT COVER MINE AFTER GOING TO REPAIRPAL THIS IS A 9 MODEL YEAR PROBLEM.YOU CAN READ POST AFTER POST ON DIFFERENT SITES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL IN THE CAR AT THE TIME.

TURN SIGNAL SWITCH TURNS ON HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS. *TR

LOW BEAM LIGHTS DO NOT WORK BUT HIGH BEAM DOES. REPLACED BULBS, CHECKED FUSE, CHECKED RELAY, AND LIGHTS STILL DO NOT WORK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA PILOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS SHUT OFF AND NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS AND THE FOG LIGHTS HAVE TO BE USED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

3RD BRAKE LIGHT FAILED. UPON INSPECTION FOUND BULB TO BE BURNT OUT AND SOCKET PARTIALLY MELTED. REPLACED BULB WITH MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED BULB. IT APPEARS TO BE THE SAME BULB THAT ORIGINALLY BURNED OUT. I HAVE A CONCERN FOR A VEHICLE FIRE DUE TO THIS OVERHEATING. *TR

A SAFETY CONCERN: HEADLIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE ROAD PROPERLY. ON RURAL ROADS THE HEADLIGHT DIP TOO LOW TO BE EFFECTIVE. ROADS WITH ELEVATIONS AND DEPRESSIONS NEGATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE HEADLIGHTS. THEY PLUNGE THE ROAD INTO TOTAL DARKNESS. A PERSON DRIVING FASTER ON A RURAL THAN 35 MPH WOULD BE "OVER DRIVING" THE HEADLIGHTS. *TR
