THE DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT ALLOW VISIBILITY ON THE ROADWAY AT NIGHT MORE THAN ABOUT 150 FEET. I HAVE CHANGED BULBS SEVERAL TIMES BUT THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM. THE CR-V HOUSING CONFIGURATION DOES NOT ALLOW LIGHTING TO BE ADJUSTED FOR ANY DISTANCE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED IN FORUMS ALL OVER THE INTERNET FOR YEARS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. (JUST GOOGLE "HONDA CR-V HEADLIGHT PROBLEM") I OWN A TUNDRA TRUCK, AND A FORD ESCAPE, AND THE LIGHTING GOING DOWN MY ALLEY AT NIGHT IS PERFECT, BUT WHEN I MAKE THE SAME DRIVE DOWN THE ALLEY WITH THE HONDA CR-V, I CAN ONLY SEE 3 HOUSES IN FRONT OF ME! FOR YEARS I HAVE REFUSED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AT NIGHT, AND IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT HONDA REMEDY THE HEADLIGHT DESIGN SO THAT ONE CAN DRIVE THIS CAR SAFELY. I WISH I COULD PROVE THIS SIMPLE FACT TO SOMEONE, BUT NO ONE AT HONDA WILL TAKE ME UP ON THIS SIMPLE TEST TO PROVE THERE IS SOMETHING DRASTICALLY WRONG WITH THE HEADLIGHT DESIGN. I HAVE CONSIDERED AFTERMARKET HEADLIGHTS, BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE SERIOUSLY ADDRESSED. I REALLY WONDER HOW MANY ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES HAVE OCCURRED FROM THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF SEVERAL HONDA DEALERSHIPS (SAN ANTONIO AND SAN ANGELO), AND THEY JUST SUGGEST PUTTING IN A BRIGHTER TYPE BULB, WHICH HAS DONE NOTHING TO REMEDY. IT IS ENTIRELY THE DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHTS. PLEASE, THIS IS A LEGITIMATE AND REAL SAFETY HAZARD, AND IT IS SOMETHING HONDA HAS BEEN IGNORING FOR YEARS ON SEVERAL OF THE CR-V YEAR MODELS. CALL ME [XXX]. BEEN COMPLAINING FOR YEARS, BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME, SOMEONE TOLD ME ABOUT REPORTING THIS TO YOU.
