Headlights OEM FORD or OEM Honda
The DRL on my passenger headlight partially died (one of the vertical strips on the outside of the lamp stopped working) about a month ago. Took it to the dealer and they had a new headlight installed within the week under bumper to bumper.
Pros: headlight installed under warranty
Cons: DRL partially died
Vehicle:
Ford
Neighbor texted me today that my passenger headlight is out… anyone have a headlight go out on their Mach E yet?
2021, 57,000 miles. VERY happy I didn’t delete the extended light coverage on my ESP from Granger Ford.
Pros: extended light coverage
Cons: headlight went out
Vehicle:
Ford
Mileage: 91733 km
For headlights there a tons of options. Personally I went with an OEM style with black housings, but you can find a bunch on ebay. Just be prepared for the clearcoat to wear out on them after 3 or so years if it lives outside.
Pros: OEM style, black housings
Cons: clearcoat wears out
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
What’s up with the weak headlights? My 5 year old Pilot (also with factory LEDs) just light up the road way more, throw is farther, and output is wider.
Pros: farther throw, wider output
Cons: weak headlights
Vehicle:
Honda
Overall I like the new Prelude design, but the front IMO is the weakest element as this post highlights. Just not as clean as I think they could have done.
Pros: like the new design
Cons: front is weakest element
Vehicle:
Honda Prelude
We had the same issue on my wifes 22 explorer limited.
Dealership had it for a full day and traced the issue to a bad ground causing a power draw in one of the headlights and it was replaced under warranty.
Pros: headlight replaced under warranty
Cons: bad ground, power draw
Vehicle:
Ford Explorer
My F150 headlight, the most popular vehicle in the USA, costs $1600
Cons: expensive headlight
Vehicle:
Ford
Im flabbergasted looking through the comments at how many people have to be convinced that the headlights are extremely poor rather than discussing how to improve your lighting. I agree this 2025 crv has the most terrible lights I've ever had in my life. Its more terrible in the rain or snow at night.
Cons: terrible lights
Vehicle:
Honda
Headlights are garbage… they use reflectors rather than projectors and so even though the led is bright, it is extremely diffuse. The diffuse pattern is particularly useless in heavy precipitation.
Cons: extremely diffuse
Vehicle:
Honda
2025 Crv Hybrid Sport L. Headlights are garbage. Fine in dry weather, but when its raining, especially at high speeds on highway, they are too diffuse and wash out. I noticed that the lane keep assist also struggles to find the center bc it can’t “see” the lines. Awful awful awful.
Cons: too diffuse, wash out
Vehicle:
Honda
