The headlights lights were very dim and the dealership was unable to adjust the lighting projection. Which resulted in poor visibility. The manufacturer indicated it this was a design characteristic.

Headlights on the new Honda Pilot are weak and fail to adequately illuminate the road ahead. It's the difference between using a spotlight vs a floodlight. The high beams when in use just seem to disappear into the night. You can see but the light is not bright enough in my opinion. I think the high beams should be more like a spotlight in lighting up the road ahead. I think it is a definite design flaw.

Headlights are very weak and do not sufficeintly illuminate the road ahead. This creates a very serious driving hazard on the freeway especially at speeds as high as 70 mph. The Pilot's headlights fail to illuminate.
