| Driving at highway speed, moving from twilight to night, i suddenly noticed the headlights were not operating on either side. we pulled over to check the bulbs, fuses, and relays which all appeared in good condition. the parking lights still worked and we discovered the high beam lights still worked. we were in a rural area so there was no place to stop before our destination to either get repairs or wait for daylight, so we had to continue on with high beams. i called our honda dealer today (9/25/12) to report the problem, knowing that the headlight recall had recently been expanded to 2003 model year, but they were not helpful. they offered to charge me for repair but did not suggest how to report the defect to nhtsa or otherwise resolve the problem. *tr | |||
