Headlights OEM Subaru or OEM Honda
Reviews
I was worried about the ’26 CR-V Sport Hybrid headlights—no fog lights or steering-linked lights like my Subaru—but they’re actually really bright and clear. No regrets!
Pros: really bright and clear
Cons: no fog lights
Vehicle:
Honda
I just traded my '23 HR-V Sport AWD after 3 years and 61k miles.
Positives:
Mine was rock solid reliable, never had a repair other than one recall.
This is subjective, but I found it to be really good looking and comfortable.
Features like adaptive cruise and lane keep assist make long drives much less tiring.
Interior materials are pretty nice for the price point.
Negatives:
It doesn't have much power and gets decent, but not amazing gas mileage.
No rear heat/AC
Another subjective one, but I personally don't much care for the feel of the CVT.
Headlights come aimed too high and due to the design (inside pair of lamps are part of low-beams), people constantly flashed me at night, thinking my high beams were on. This got a lot better after taking ten minutes with a screw driver to aim the lamps down a bit.
Pros: rock solid reliable, good looking
Cons: not much power, CVT feel
Vehicle:
Honda
Mileage: 98170 km
My 15 brz had a dial under the left side of the steering wheel.
Pros: dial under steering wheel
Vehicle:
Subaru BRZ
Not sure about the Forester, but common issue on Outbacks. You can't adjust the brightness, but you can adjust the angle. You need a long shank Phillips screwdriver and you can angle the lights down a bit
Pros: adjust the angle
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Highness.\u00a0\n\n\nHeadlight throw was a problem for first week. Ever since I adjusted it for longer throw, I dropped plans for additional lights- more than enough for most rides.
Pros: enough for most rides
Cons: headlight throw was problem
Vehicle:
Honda
Headlight throw is low. I recently learnt that you can adjust the throw angle by turning the screw on the side of the headlight.
Cons: low headlight throw

Since the night I drove my car home, I've been getting flashed by drivers while using my low beams.
Cons: blinding other drivers, getting flashed
Vehicle:
