vs
Headlights Osram or OEM Honda
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
it took me a whole 2 hours to change the headlights on my Honda.

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
I’ve had people flash their lights at our new Honda because they think the high beams are on. I feel bad but what am I supposed to do? That’s how the thing came from Honda.
Pros: new Honda, bright lights
Vehicle:
Honda
I use to use the expensive Sylvania forget which one but they we're pricey. Posted on here several months ago and someone recommended the Osram night breaker 220 h4. They we're $29 but now up to $35 they are way brighter that the Sylvania I was using.
Pros: way brighter
Cons: pricey
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
