BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME; NEW BULBS DID NOT WORK; FUSES WERE FINE. UPON LOOKING ONLINE, SAW THAT THERE WERE SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN. THE TECHNICIAN IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE STEERING COLUMN AND FOUND WIRES WERE BURNED. THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND WIRE HARNESS HAD TO BE REPLACED. PRIOR TO THIS, I HAD OCCASIONALLY NOTICED A BURNING SMELL WHILE DRIVING AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE SMELL. IT RESULTED IN BOTH HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. UPDATED 09/27/11 *BF UPDATED 2/28/12 *CN

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2005 CR-V SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR ALONE (AT LEAST 4 TIMES THAT I CAN REMEMBER). THE LIGHTS GO OUT RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING (THE EXACT SPEED IS UNKNOWN). THIS OBVIOUSLY PRESENTS A VERY GREAT SAFETY HAZARD, AND I AM VERY CONCERNED AS MY WIFE AND NEWBORN BABY SOMETIMES USE THIS CAR. THE LAST TIME WE HAD THE BULBS REPLACED, THERE APPEARED TO BE SCORCH MARKS ON THE WIRE CONNECTOR THAT ATTACHES TO THE BACK OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THERE ARE MANY FORUM POSTS ON THE INTERNET OF DRIVERS WHO HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES TO MINE WITH THE SAME MODEL YEAR (2005) AND ALSO WITH 2006 CR-VS. HERE IS "ONE" OF THE FORUM THREADS CONTAINING SUCH POSTS: HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/HONDA-CR-V/TLND3JKAUI93FS68G/P8 IF YOU COULD PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR
