Head lights burn out every 2-3mo.S darrel waltrip tells me there is nothing they can do and that they know of no recalls on the very expensive halogen lights. I have spent approx. $200 dollars on headlight replacement. I think this would warrant a free check and repair of the problem.

problem #2

The 2003 Pilot headlights are very weak and do not sufficiently 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 the curves in the freeway, and consequently, Pilot can veer off the highway and get into crashes. Apparently, the Honda company is aware of this problem but has chosen not to take any action. We appeal to NHTSA to urge Honda to recall and replace the defective headlights.
