Why are Honda Accords Head lights so c**p?

Question

Can anyone tell me why the head lights on the Honda Accord are so ****.......??

Answer 1

Must be yours - I've had seven, none of them have had a problem.

Answer 2

so you can buy their option installed ones. MONEY MONEY THAT IS ALL THAT IT COMES DOWN TO. you can get better lights aftermarket for less than half the price at the dealer.

Answer 3

What year is your Accord? Like many auto manufacturers, the plastic they use to make the headlight (not the bulb itself) but the plastic housings turn yellow with age. If your car is parked in the sun all the time then yours may be even worse. You can replacement headlamps at very cheap prices. Go to rockauto.com, I have replaced headlamps in several cars and thebrilliancee of the light is restored to factorybrilliancee.

And by the way, Honda does in fact make a great car.

Answer 4

maybe you shouldn't me messing with them if your a S****y mechanic...

and never buy DSM ( Mitsubishi ) unless you want your routine maintenance to include welding...

they are fine unless you over tighten them, put the wrong bulb in them, break the clip

Answer 5

You answered your own question, its a Honda

Answer 6

buy a 3000GT, once you Mit, you never go back  

Answer 7

The headlamps light out put is poor due to the design of the reflector as car manufactures now A days Rather make the car look cosmetically good in appearance Rather then worry about the intensity of the lights out put.

Honda also use the poor H1 bulb which is usually only suited to fog lamps etc.

Have you possible tried to fit upgraded headlamp bulbs such as Xenon upgrade.

Ring also manufacture a H1 xenon ultra bulb £7.99 depending of retailer.

Answer 8

Well I think the Accord headlights are behind everyone else. I would like to see a thinner 4th generation front with projector lows. Honda disappointed me with the 8th generation Accord overall. My ideal Accord (9th generation 2012) would look like the 4th generation, 189" long, 71" wide. 170 Hp 4cy 25-34 MPG , 250 hp V-6 21-31MPG. DX,LX,EX= $19k-$23k  LX, EX V-6 $23k- $26k. I don't like the direction autos aregoingn now-a-days. Its time for a change for imports to be once again "SIMPLE"!!!

Answer 9

Mine works perfectly so it might be only your case.

Answer 10

have you tryed turning them on
