Headlights OEM Subaru or OEM Honda
Reviews
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
My 21 with the multi beam LED headlight is super bright.
Pros: super 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
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
I have a 2024 Forester, and I absolutely hate the headlights, to the point, I am not sure I would purchase a Subaru again. You have to use the brights in order to get the same field of vision as I got previously on my Camry.
Cons: hate the headlights
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I have a 2024 and they're damn right dangerous on the hilly roads I drive on. Literal black out conditions outside of this fucking rectangle.
Also? They're just shitty headlights in general.
Cons: dangerous, shitty headlights
I bought a 3-year old (2021) Forester in January, and I have noticed the headlights suck, too. On a dark road, I need to use the brights to illuminate any kind of meaningful field of visibility, and even then it’s not great.
Cons: headlights suck
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
