CR-V 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 134,134 miles
Honda CRV 2002: Headlights - low beam - both went out at once, forcing use of high beam for night driving until it could be fixed. Repair shop diagnosed as the "lighting switch & repair harness" required replacement. Repair shop mentioned something like "seen this before" - I googled & found it has happened enough that others have reported here. I took what I had found online to repair shop, they said it was exactly what my CRV experienced. Updated 06/30/11 updated 07/01/11
