When driving my 2001 Honda Civic ex, I experienced the complete loss of my headlights. This has been an on going problem that the dealership cannot or will not correct. There was a recall for the over heating of the headlight switch in 2004. After two attempts by the dealer to fix this problem, (replaced the switch, after extensive troubleshooting, according to them), I have for the third time experienced a loss of headlights while driving due to the over heating of the switch. The consequences of losing the headlights at night time are self explanatory.

Headlights suddenly went off while driving. Headlight switch connector to wiring harness melted. Dealership replaced the switch and cleaned the connector. This was a common problem with these vehicles, per the dealership.

I have a 2001 Honda Civic LX. The low beam headlights stopped working due to the headlight switch getting hot and burning the wire. The headlight switch and wiring all had to be replaced.
