My wife drives this Accord, new in Jan 2014, more than I do. She complained of poor headlamp performance on unlit country roads. I thought she was just not used to night driving. Then I had a 2 hour night drive in heavy rain.WTF? Even with the for lamps on with the dipped head lamps, it looked like 1950! Weak yellow beam with little forward reach. Only the undipped main beam gives anything really safe and my eyesight is good.
Looking across similar issues on CarComplaints.com, there's a couple of similar for 2008 Honda models which remain unresolved by the dealers.
Not impressed. Wish I'd bought a new Jag, but my good lady saw it as too flashy. Hey, ho ...Fortunately, we do not do much night driving, but it remains a pain in the ass ...
