Headlights OEM Honda or OEM Volvo
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
My 21 with the multi beam LED headlight is super bright.
Pros: super bright
Vehicle:
Honda
They’re excellent headlights. I’ve driven my ‘26 numerous times at night and the visibility is great.
Pros: excellent headlights, great visibility
Vehicle:
Honda
To be honest, mine are pretty bright and I often wonder if I’m going to be a candidate for r/fuckyourheadlights
Are yours set to auto? Consider taking it to the dealer to see if your headlights need to be adjusted.
Pros: pretty bright
Vehicle:
Honda
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
I came from a Tesla which were like stadium lights, so at first, they seemed a little dim based on what I was used to. With that said, the ‘26 headlights are fine.
Pros: headlights are fine
Cons: seemed a little dim initially
Vehicle:
Honda
i dont like 2 separate headlights because in the dark it can look like a car thats just really far away. this might lead to a higher chance of someone turning out in front of you.
Cons: look like a car
Vehicle:
Honda
Unfortunately due to stupid decisions at Volvo Xc40 lacks of one of best features of larger brothers. Headlights don't turn. As per Volvo it's a small economy level car.
Cons: headlights don't turn
Vehicle:
Volvo
I agree with this completely. The dim headlights have bothered me so much I’m already looking at new cars. I have, ‘24 ST. I’m chalking this up as a mistake I missed and will have to pay for.
Cons: dim headlights
Vehicle:
Honda
