Does anyone find the headlights on low beam to have an extremely short lighting distance at night? However the high beams are great? W onder if the aiming of the headlights is my problem?

Yes, I noticed that! I felt like the headlights are mounted too low. They aren't too bad when I drive among other cars or in the city. But last weekend I drove it through a freeway with no streetlight through some hills (241 & 261 in Orange County), and I couldn't see at all! The highbeams worked wonderfully though. Next time I'll check the lights in a garage to see if my headlights are too low.

Thanks for your feedback concerning the headlights. I intend to issue this problem with the dealer soon. Maybe some Xeon headlights will the correct the problem.

I also found the drop-off on the low beams sooner than I like, but I'm getting used to it. The high beams really are great and I think the fog lights (while not great) will do what I need them to do - provide more light to the side and right in front of the vehicle - I use them more for snow than fog, and it helps to be able to figure out where the side of our rural road is (no curbs).

Thanks for your input I talked with American Honda today concerning this issue and they assured me they would look into it and call me back. I am taking the car to my local Honda dealer tomorrow and have them check the lighting problem and will report back to this forum

I think it is being quite charitable to call the low beams "HORRIBLE"!
 
The eyestrain they cause with that sudden drop off at 200 feet is HORRIBLE. It's like driving behind a shadow. Try driving on a busy rural highway when you can't use your high beams for the oncoming traffic.
 
Please report back.

You explained that exactly right! There's a complete drop off with a shadow bouncing back at you and personally I'm afraid to drive much over 60 for fear of running over something in the road.

You may be interested in this thread. Here's a picture of the headlight adjuster that is the blank next to the mirror adjuster in other (UK) markets!

Awesome. But is this thing in North American Fits?
