The headlight bulb was recently replaced and the driver side headlight it still dim. My mechanic thinks there is an issue with the lense in front of the bulb. I see online that some 2015 Acuras have been recalled for headlight issues. This recall needs to be expanded.

My wife and i have noticed the low beams on my RDX are extremely low, they barely light up the road. we are concerned this could be a safety hazard. i took the car to the dealership today and they confirmed "the bulbs do not project light properly. Headlight assemblies will need to be replaced" They charged me $74.50 to tell me this, and quoted me $2500 to replace the headlight assemblies. i have noticed a lot of other RDX owners concerned about this issue on the internet.

Both headlights are very dim making it unsafe to drive at night. I replaced the bulbs twice, but they are still too dim. Need to replace both assemblies.

The headlights on our Acura have grown dangerously dim. The process happened gradually over the last few years. It is nearly impossible to see at night unless the high beams are on. The dealer advised that this is a problem for our model, but that no factory recall has been initiated by Acura. We have replaced the headlights, which did not help much at all and are now in the process of replacing the expensive headlight assembly system.

After purchasing the car in 2018 I noticed the low beam headlights were dimmer than other vehicles I've owned but gradually, they have gotten much, much worse. I have to drive with high beams on at night or I can barely see the road in front of me. Without the high beams engaged, visibility is limited to maybe 5-10 feet in front of the vehicle with virtually no visibility to the sides of the road. I will not drive this car in the rain at night as it is even more dangerous. When I had this vehicle serviced at the dealership, I asked about the lights but was told the fix was to replace the entire light housing for both at total cost of around $2000. It has become so bad that I may have to have the light housings replaced but I feel that this issue needs to be addressed by Acura as it directly affects being able to operate the car safely at night. This is my second Acura and I'm very disappointed, especially since the problem began when I first purchased the car which was only 3 years old at the time.

The low beams are nearly impossible to see with while driving at night. Have heard countless other people complaining of same issue.

- League City , TX, USA

Purchased vehicle around 9/2017 and noted low headlights were not bright. I used high beam more than with other vehicles I have driven. I requested the Acura Service Dept to look at them and they changed the bulbs out. This did not help. I was still using my high beams. I requested again for them to look at the lights and Acura told me I would have to replace. I have been driving with high beams on ever since. Now it is at the point I am going to have to pay over 2,000 that they quoted me to get new headlamps. My vehicle was at 30,000 miles at purchase and now about 90,000. I am at the point I have not drove the car at night in the last few years. I did research and found this issue is common. This is a safety issue for this type of car and a recall should be done! I found your website and now making this complaint.

- Raleigh, NC, USA

For many years now I have wondered why my headlights were dangerously dim to the point the lights would only light up about 15-20 feet ahead. While driving at night in the rain is almost impossible. There are many write ups about this issue from many others. They also claim to have this corrected you need to replace the entire headlight assembly costing over $2000 from the dealer or less than $1000 if you do it yourself. If you know how. This is dangerous and should be a manufacturer recall to correct this issue as it is a defect of this car.

- Romeoville, IL, USA

The headlights are very dim. It doesn-??t happy in one day, it-??s a gradual process to get worse by the day. It-??s so dangerous to drive at night. Replacing bulb, cleaning do not help. It-??s the whole fixture and cost so much to replace. Dealer said $1000 each. Should be recalled to fix it.

I purchased my 2015 Acura RDX in February 2022. You obviously don't test drive vehicles at night so I was unaware of the EXTREMELY dim headlights until a week later. I drove to the store and it was dark when I was done. As I started driving home I noticed it didn't look like my headlights were on. I had no choice but to turn the high beams on and continue home. The next day, I immediately contacted the dealership I bought my Acura from and was told my warranty doesn't cover headlights. I have had no choice on multiple occasions to drive at night. I have come an inch away from hitting a pedestrian walking with a toddler, running into a ditch and almost running off the road into a stop sign. I contacted Acura and was told there is no recall on the RDX but there is one on the RLX for the exact same issue. Why haven't the RDX's been recalled yet when they are having the SAME major headlight issues also? This is a massive safety issue. It is going to cost me over a thousand dollars to fix the issue and I've only had the vehicle for 7 months. I don't have that kind of money. I am a cashier for god sakes. I feel the ONLY way for Acura to issue a recall is for someone to get seriously hurt or even killed. Had I known about this major safety issue, I would of NEVER purchased it. Acura needs to be held accountable for this. It's NOT a wear and tear issue. It's the aluminum film on the headlight inner reflector.

This problem is all over the internet and Acura refuses to recall. My lights have dimmed over a period of time and now I have to run my lights on high beam to be able to see. This is a safety concern for anyone because of bright lights in faces of other drivers. This started happening about a year ago and now I can't drive my car at night. The dealer has confirmed this in other Acura vehicles as well. It will cost me over 2K to be fixed for a factory issue with headlights. This was quoted from Honda dealership in Rock Hill SC by [XXX]. There is currently a class action law suit pending because of this. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Headlight low beams are dangerously dim. When driving at night the headlights are so dim it is impossible to see.

- Marietta , GA, USA

The low beam bulb seems to be fine. But the road is barely visible at night. Could be the reflector got damaged over the time? No warning lamps or messages.

- Katy, TX, USA

Projector headlight failure. Replaced bulbs and cleaned lens and low beam is still almost non existent The reflector in the back of both projectors are disintegrated and will not reflect enough to pass inspection. New headlight assembly are in backorder which means this a reoccurring problem with the 2013, 2014, and 2015 model with the halogen bulbs.

- Summerville, GA, USA

Low beam headlights are extremely dim. Have replaced the bulbs, trying different brands and still very dim. This is a very dangerous car to drive at night. We drive with the high beams on in order to see the road. Started about 2 years ago with around 60K miles.

Low beams very dim due to headlight housing defect

- Virginia Beach , VA, USA

I've had the vehicle since around 44 k, Purchase and shortly months later technology lighting a battery issues, someone started hacking me saying they were a car warranty services, harassment in cybersecurity daily I've had over 6-8 electrical light replacements, 2-3 battery replacements, 3 alternator replacements, hacking is daily asking me to pay brides of $1000 which I have never participated in, someone talks the entire time stating they are getting my information, hacked my plates, tries to control the vehicle and using cyber security. Department of justice suggested to go to acura dealer for cyber ecu reset, inquired car about the car someone hacked the car saying they are trying to steal social security benefits, and preventing employment and want to impact finances. Car was hacked and shut down had triple AAA come out to look at the vehicle which was not working was informed it was the communicator of the body throttle but would need to have dealer process and program because of computer communication to release and preform gas pedal and power train. Picture video proving the noise and item car unable to lock some one broke into the vehicle and impacted the timing belt and etc. I have documents to support but want to be cautious of hackers and would be willing to share directly for safety pre-cautions

Low-beam headlights are so faint, it's dangerous to drive at night. Dealer will not repair, local service station will not repair - both say that the entire front facia (bumper, grill, headlight assembly) would all have to be removed to access the headlight reflector. From your website, there have been hundreds of complaints for the same issue - what needs to be done for a recall, someone getting killed? Total farce that Acura/Honda has not stepped up to fix a $40K vehicle.
