Headlights OEM Honda or OEM Hyundai
Reviews
The LEDs are a massive upgrade for a Honda.
Pros: massive upgrade
Vehicle:
Honda
I've not noticed anything wrong with the headlights. My previous car was a 2021 Audi q5, and I thought those headlights were great (projector), so I was a little worried going to reflector housings. But I have no complaints with these.
Pros: no complaints
Vehicle:
Honda
I think they’re amazing. Saying they’re “dim” is ridiculous.
Pros: amazing
Vehicle:
Honda
coming from a 2013 that did not have LED headlights, the 2026 headlights are amazing. I can drive without my brights on and still see well at nighttime. I also have vision issues driving at night and have not had issues with my passport.
Pros: amazing, good nighttime visibility
Vehicle:
Honda
I even asked the dealer of my 2020 Hyundai if they could adjust them downwards since I get flashed so much. They said it couldn't be done.
Cons: couldn't be adjusted
Vehicle:
Hyundai
As others have pointed out, the 2026 PP LEDs are the reflector type LEDs. When you're driving w/no other cars around you they seem okay. Then, when an LED projector styled vehicle comes along side of you, you'll notice that your PPs headlights are seemingly gone-overtaken by the projector styled headlights. I'll give them a 2.5/5.
Pros: seem okay without other cars
Cons: overtaken by projector headlights
Vehicle:
Honda
I find the high setting is great, but low is lacking on side coverage. The fog lights help, but not as much as I like.
The lights must appear pretty bright to oncoming traffic, though, because I've had another driver flash their brights at me when they were already on the low setting.
I have had 3 Hyundai's leading up to this Honda and they all had better lights. I had a 2018 Accord Touring and I never thought those were great either.
Pros: high setting great, appear bright to others
Cons: low beam lacking side coverage
Vehicle:
Honda
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
