Honda CR-V Under Investigation for Headlight Failures; Recall Possible
If you own a 2002 to 2004 Honda CR-V it could be the subject of a recall in the near future after federal safety regulators announced an investigation into headlight failures for those model years.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has announced an early investigation into almost 300,000 of the Honda soft-roaders after receiving 12 complains that the vehicles headlights stopped working. According to a statement released by NHTSA, the issue seems to revolve around a headlight switch and wiring harness, which could become damaged from overheating.

Honda needs to add the 2005 CRV to this recall. Check the forums and you will see everyone with this year having the same issue with the lowbeams, including me!
My daughter has a 2006 CRV and lights went out while driving luckily she didn't crash.. Replaced bulbs didn't touch bulbs because guy at autozone said not to. The passsenger side works well but driver side only barely shines and goes out if brights are turned on. Does anyone have any suggestions.
