One low beam headlight had gone out after honda oil change. Then a week later the second low beam headlight had gone out. I have no low beam lights!! I was driving when my last low beam had gone out. If i didn't have dog lights and my brights i could have crashed.

I noticed my passenger side low beam headlight failed to operate. My husband replaced the lamp(bulb) and checked the fuses but this didn't fix the problem. After further research, i found previous honda pilot models with the same issue that were recalled for faulty harness headlight issues. However, honda has failed to recall the model year 2007 for the same exact issues. Most owners on forums with 2007 pilots have…

The clips to the headlights break. One headlight has been replaced 6 or 7 times. Both headlights need to be replaced now. Condensation forms on the inside of the headlight. The honda dealership said they have had many calls about this issue but it is not on the recall list as of right now.

While driving with headlights on during daylight hours, we noticed a burning smell as we arrived at our destination. It was dark when we returned home and the headlights seemed very dim when using low beams. We were in a very rural area and able to use high beams for most of the trip. When switching to low beams due to oncoming traffic, i had difficulty seeing the road. When we reached the highway and had to use low…

Most of the climate control lights on my 2007 honda pilot have been out for a while. I bought this vehicle new and have taken excellent care of it; no wrecks, etc. The climate control lights continue to go out a few at a time. This causes night driving to be dangerous due to being unable to adjust anything with a quick glance. I've actually had to turn on the overhead light to see which button to push. Obviously,…

We bought my 2007 honda pilot ex-l in 2009. Soon after purchasing we noticed interior lighting issues. Specifically, the lights for the buttons in the ac head unit are all out. In addition, the dome light works sometimes and not others. Everything else works just fine on the vehicle. I have read numerous complaints on forums from others on this issue and feel it is a manufacturer defect as the interior lights…

07 honda pilot ex, the climate control lighting, radio button lights and the door ajar on/off, cruise control and sunroof button lights have all gone out. I bought this brand spanking new and within 2-3 years these lights went out. Seems to be something that honda hasn't mastered because i see forums that this is an on going issuue. I don't have $300-400 to take it to the service dept to replace bulbs. Maybe a…
